Actually this topic was supposed to be on a mitsu logo.. but I can't seem to put the pic up in here so.... kept editing to make it work with no avail :cry:

Here's another topic that I have...

Winter's here and well I think it's about time I change a new battery..

Just need to know what batteries do u guys use...

I used to use Optima but the thing is I don't have ICE.... Should I be looking out for a Heavy Duty no maintainance ones or do you guys have a good brand/model that I can consider?

If you want good ones...Yellow top batteries are great!

Get a gel battery..never have to fill em up ;)

Or a deep cycle one..lol!! haha

I dunno the life span of the battery, but as I always go back for my holidays and I CBF with disconnecting the car battery, I always come home with a flat one and I think that helps to shorten the lifespan :p

I didn't know batteries come with gel :D

Are u talking about the one that doesn't require filling it up with distilled water?

2 years old.... but it's like getting weak on me... and also when I go away, I never disconnect the batt and I have to always call RACV to come start her up for me :p

I think if you get 3 years out of a battery then thats good.

Yes the gel batteries are the ones that never need to be filled up
