anyone have experience with a drycell battery other then optima. i'm on my 8th in the last year and a half. the last two they shipped me were dead at my door. i would like to have the convenience of a drycell but haven't tried the other brands.

 

I have been running Optima batteries for years. I had to replace my battery every year when I got my car out of storage. Here is a few things I found out about dry cell batteries.

1. They dont like to be over charged.

2. They dont like to be under charged.

3. Most battery chargers will not charge properly with a stereo capaciator installed.

I have finnaly found how to make my dry cell last. Get a good charger and isolate your stereo capaciator.

 

i am open to any suggestions. what's a good charger.

 

look for an automatic charger that charges between 10 and 30 amps

 

i have one of those, 3 actually and i've tried all different combinations. i know companies make drycell specific battery chargers but they are more expensive then just replacing the battery every year.
