Re: [T3] Duralast batteries anyone? (and Optima)


Actually, I dont really agree with this part.  When I changed out my last
battery I had some corrosion not because the battery had leaked but because
I have this large themal mass sitting on the metal.  When temperatures
suddenly warm, the battery condenses and gets wet and drips water, plain old
water, onto the tray.
I imagine the Optima has a similar thermal mass... but cant say that for
sure, it may be a little better.
