The average ones runs around 35/48lbs, relocation kits do have a purpose... and they are by far not "crap". You will have to pay out alot more. Used best in cars with hardcore Races, or Auto systems where you would need 4 or 5 of them, other wise just go to a redtop.

Group Purchase

I have a line on Optima Red Tops (9"x7"x8").

If we get 6 confirmed orders we can get them for $118.00 plus tax.

the bigger batteries (10"x7"x8") are $158.28(+tax).

You guys have cash in hand??

I want a high amp battery to run the new sound system but it has to fit in the regular battery spot. I don't want no oversized battery in my trunk. Gee, I don't know if I can afford this right now?

sorry for a silly question, but here it goes:

but, does it have the same ports for the battery terminals, and does it fit directly into the space that a stock one goes into... if not, how does it work...

thanks
ian

The red tops are the same weight (33lbs) and the same size as the stock GM battery, but they are better. price again, is $118 plus tax.

The batteries mount the same way and have top and side terminals just like the GM one.

So i need everyone to confirm with me again, and we can set it up for this week to get them.

U should start a new thread about this... and please include all the info, like, what battery exactly, along with the specs on it...

but again, i'm ready to go!

If you'll notice, there is is another thread talking about batteries as well, so perhaps some of those guys will jump in once they see we're not talking about the previous gel cell battery thread...
