JF-03-SS Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Who has one and where did you get it. Sears does not carry them any longer. Pep Boys has them for $169.00. Are they worth the money? My battery is getting weak, can't leave the radio on for amy amount of time because it kills it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My battery is getting weak, can't leave the radio on for amy amount of time because it kills it. I'm a dealer for them and I can tell you the cost of them has went up. my COST on them is 135. they are a good battery, not the best out there, but then again I run 2 of them so they cant be all that bad. some guys swear by them. the chioce is yours. I say buy it up for that price!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast4popper Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Kinetek, I have heard both ways on them. I sell Stinger. I have seen the test results compared to Kinetik, but then again they could be biased cause I am selling stinger. Both good batteries. as for the Yellow top, yes you can. they are more of a deep cycle battery but they do work for starting. I have ran both and have never had problems with either, (other than boiling a red top back in the day) so do it up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 You can always go with a yellow too right?That's kind of a loaded question; it all depends on your power demands/use and how much reserve you must have. I'm backing up fast4popper, consider Stinger, Kinetic, or Nothstar batteries. I'm cutting my answer short here, I don't want to get into debates about wet cell vs. dry cell vs. AGM but I'm not a big fan of the Optima Yellow; I love the Optima Red OTOH, damned good battery in the correct application.

JF-03-SS Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks everyone! One last thing though. Does it fit with the stock hold down. I have not measured the battery to see ir it is the same size. Looks like the washer fluid could be in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06redSSrwd Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 odyssey batteries are what i would put. i have them on my boat and they're great. solid lead battery so there's no chance of acid spillage and they say they can last up to 12 years!

If you get the one they say is the correct one for an SSS...it'll bolt right in. - Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
