8hnpSS Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 i have a optima yellow top its going on 5 years old now and still works great. my truck sat in storage for near 2 months untouched and it cranked pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfast Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think either way will be a good decision! Optima I think is a 1 year warranty and the good delco battery's are pro rated for 7 years. So warranty wise the delco is best! My truck had a optima when I bought it and no complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLNAWAY Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have an optima that just got traded out for an xs power. The difference is huge in comparison when my system is on full blast. Holds my voltage so much better.XS power would be the way to go you can get a great 1600cca for under 300 and never have to worry about it but back to the OP i say delco pro great warrenty and have great life span. as far as security system id would just unhook the wires that connect to the ingiton switch just to be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just switch the batteries for the handheld security remote before I even replace the truck battery (is the plan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelleyperformance Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 the Delco batteries are good batteries, but for the money i would get an Optima. i like the yellow top, stock electrical system or not. being a deep cycle, they can take being discharged/charged/jumped many more times than a standard battery. i have them in stock here and sell quite a few of them, and run them in all my own vehicles. the ones in the SSS are going on 5 years and are both still as good as the day i installed them. never had to jump the truck once. they are more money, but to me its worth it considering they have a longer lifespan. but if you dont want to spend the extra money, nothing wrong with the Delco battery.
