So you're gonna have someone else pick the battery stuff... you'll have them made into the actual battery and together you will wholesale them?!

LOL... My cuz has got some new stuff of his... I still gotta watch it.

For those who find the need for a new battery this season and want to change up their look from an old Red Top (like Me)

Still enjoying this battery! No issues at all, even starting, all winter long here in Rhode Island (daily driver).

I ended up buying it and love this battery. Was in the car for 4 months and I did not crank it over the winter. Started the car after it got out of storage and fired right up

Jim, go for it you will love it

Good info Nouman

Looks like you'll save a few members a few $$ there. The Exide got good reviews in the battery poll I ran so it looks like a good alternative to an Optima.
