They are pricey like $180.00 ea. and also a lot of guys sware by the batteries at costco, And wal-mart is good to
Or if you want a batterie that will never leak again from the top try Optima blue top batteries, they say that is the best, And they say if the batterie gose dead from sitting and will not take a charge then just hold and drop the batterie from your waist hight and just let it slam down even and it resets the plates and it will take a charge 3-5 years from now:eek:

Yes I here you it is a lot of money knowing you have a lot of stuff to power up, I just did a big stereo system in my boat and had to add a second batterie, and told the wife you are the one that wanted the big stereo, Now you need a good batterie to keep it going
And since the guy that posted this thread has a cobalt it is more then likely he is one of the type of guys that money is not the biggest part just as long as it will work for him the longest so he hopfully will not need to deal with batteries any time soon again, At least that is what more then most of my customers that owen a cobalt tell me all the time. So that is just what I am use to is all

I know it sounds silly But some times you need to read other ideas out their and come up with what ever you think will work or not. that is what these fourms are for A lot is hearsay, And some is experience. It would be hard for me to get experience by droping a batterie to the ground, That is why some times you read things from other people from what they have done in the past and come up with your own thoughts if some things will work or not. I was just as supprised as you when I read it and that is coming from a owener of a hi performance boat shop. So while on these fourms we need to go on our own to know if we are getting experience, or hearsay. I normaly give out to much of my experience, And if I am giving out info of what I have heard or read then I try to say it that way, That is just me.It's always best to stick to personal experience, not hearsay, when giving advice.
*edit* after reading that nonsense, I bet the Optima "rep" was hoping he would drop it and break the case so they could deny his warranty, what a silly idea LOL
