Optima Battery

[wirelessjunkie]

Anyone knows how much the red top Optima batteries are going for nowadays and where can I source one? I remember paying RM700 for a red top back in 1996 but can't seem to find them anymore.

Try 4 x 4 Equipment shop at Sg. Besi saw they have it last year.

Any significant difference from other batteries? :dunno:

 

[wirelessjunkie]

Plenty. Even the ICE sounds sweeter and where did all that torque come from? Stronger sparks?

brighter lites.......especially good for older people like myself.......cant see well in the dark now.....need stronger lites.....

significant from other batteries......hmmmm, prolly last a few more hundred years before the plates burnout......save cost and trouble to change a battery every other year....

Yup its true that is why most offroad 4 x 4 uses them because they have lots of accessories like winches.

What a coincident,

the shareholder is my old friend. Just give him a call this morning and these are some details:

They are the main distributor in Malaysia
Red top: RM1200
Yellow top: RM1600

Anybody interested, just let me know. This way I can help both party, the forums member and my old friend.
