Default Optima Batteries FYI

There is allot of talk about Optima Batteries. Some of you may not know about Optima Batteries so I thought I would help by giving a few URL's to click on. I don't know how to use the URL button so I will just provided the addresses and you can copy and paste the into your Internet Explorer. If you have any help on the URL button it would help for future listings.

The first URL is for Optima Batteries, click on "Optima Advantage" and go through the 14 page demo, it will answer allot of questions.

I gave you a URL for a battery holder for the Optima Battery for special applications sold by Jegs. The Optima battery will bolt right in the 1968 - 1982 Corvette.

I also provided another link to Jegs for the battery switch. I have used these for years and are great. It states that they are rated for 100 amps, this is a typo it 1000 amps. I used one of these in an old Fire Truck that I had and had it hooked up to a battery out of a Caterpillar (1250 CCA) and never melted the switch.
