Battery thread - again (1 Viewer)

That settles it. I think I'll go with the biggest Interstate I can fit.

I have a diehard marine 34 m. It's been in since 2010. When I leave for a few weeks the battery is dead. I charge it up and drive it without issues. The problem is that I now think of it as unreliable since it dies after 2.5-3 weeks of sitting

The Interstate Megatron 27F has only 710CCA for $130 at my local outfit. I can get the same CCA out of a Kirkland Group 24F for $85 + $9 core and same or better warranty. I'll have to see if they have a non badged 27F with same rating for less coin.

FWIW, Sears has both the Platinum 34s on sale for $172.49

The auto has a 4 year warranty.
The marine has a 3 year warranty, so Pkelly you might be able to squeeze a replacement out of them just before your warranty is up.

When I bought my DHP 65 a couple years back, warrarnty was 4 years with free replacement and 100 months pro-rated. Wonder when they changed the warranty.

I was wrong. The PO bought it on 8/2008. So it's 5 years old. Not bad really. I would buy one again but I'd look at my other options first.

Onur, is it possible to get factory Panasonic batteries here in the U.S.? They seem to be bad ass.

I assume the answer is no.

Unfortunately not.
