Hey spice W RMS is the ONLY power measurment anything else is marketing crap

I run an Optima as my primary, and an Exide (I think) deep cycle as my auxillary. My Optima cost me $nil. A case of being in the right place at the right time. He was moving back to Canada, and selling his Disco to a car dealer for not a good price. He had one fitted, and if I could supply a replacement battery to get the car to the dealer, I could have the Optima. I gave him a dead battery, we push started the Disco, and he parked it at the dealers, no longer his problem. It was about 18 months old when he gave it to me, that was about 2 years ago. It still is as good as the day he bought it. I think even the warrenty was transferable.

Got some of the blue top Exide Orbitals - a spiral cell battery like the Optimas. Still expensive tho. They seem pretty similar to the Optimas.
Had a hard time figuring out what type of bettery is best for winching (winch challenge) as everyone has a different theory so ended up buying the starting/deep cycle (blue) ones in the hope they would enough enough grunt for winching and enough duty cycles to survive.

what a beast. the stats speaks well but is it a big and heavy battery?

well are they?

g'day, I'm in the final stages of y build and have installed two optima bluey's, they scare my suzi to life and run a fridge, 6 spotties + accessories, one is isolated for the winch and the other for accessories and starting. Haven't had 'em for long, 120mins reserve each, and 870cca/750ca. F%ckin' heavy buggars though , even left one out for weight during the engineers report...
Here's the info on the blueys; http://www.optimabatteries.se/folders/p ... e%20(1.2MB).pdf
