duralast gold battery
i tried searching but couldnt really find anything on this specific car battery, i cant afford to go with the optima right now so i was wondering if anyone else uses the gold-duralast battery.
if so, any problems with it? anything special you have to do to it like the optima when installing? sorry for such a noob post lol |
I've used duralasts in all my cars for as long as I can remember autozone being around...I usually buy the mid-range one. It's just as good as any other. I have one on my jeep right now I bought this summer. I'd save my money on an optima if I were you, but some people like the optima products!
|
well the car isnt running so i need to go for one ASAP and the durlast was in my price range
|
yeah, like i said, they've done well for me. good luck
|
Its fine, I think the mid range one is about 550 or 600 CCA. which should be fine for warmer climate.
but for cold climate, I think their best Gold one rated at 650 or something. its enough. I like Optima, but some people said it cost twice or three times as much money its not worth it .... well its worth it if u have tons of stuff in ur car or you often forgot to turn ur lights off or if u're living in some extremely cold areas. |
Optima is a bunch of hype.

but if u have shit loads of crap like u know a big ass sub and tons of lighting and other bunch of crap. then u'll need it. Its heavy as hell tho. the battery itself. |
Optima doesn't live up to the hype. Check other car forums. It's a 50/50 success ratio. Quality went downhill 4-5 years ago. Look at a true dry-cell like Exide Orbital.

the union must have came in ^ :rofl:

The same thing is happening to our Rx-8 isnt it ? :) I heard of Exide Orbital, but the thing is that ... is pretty hard to find the right size, at least in my area they just dont have it. |
always get the highest CCA rated battery in a brand's lineup
they're only what, $20 more than the medium range battery? i think i'll pay that premium for better cold starting performance. |
