Looks like 4 years and my factory honda battery is toast. I don't blame the battery, when it's been on a trickle charger for almost 2 years (6 months at a time)...
So, I need to get a new battery. My choices are a replacement honda battery, interstate or opitma.
Has anyone had an interstate battery? Like or dislike?
I've had an optima battery before and I was very impressed. Might consider spending the extra cash and getting another. Does anyone know where these are sold in edmonton? |

| I bought my optima are Wallymart. the CT coilcells spec are better.. i kinda wish i woulda got one of the CT ones. My optima was in an old diesel truck so i really didn't notice much of a difference. |

Optima is at Walmart, Costco, and Canadian Tire (Rebadged as "spiral cell").
Hands down better than any of the "normal" batteries. |

How old is it? Is there any remaining warranty? Has it ever been drained?
I might check out walmart to see if they have the optima batteries... |

| I got mine from the clareview Walmart, cost me like $164.95+gst and battery tax... or sumthing, was $195 including everything and a new set of wipers. But I got the biggest one they had... physically and CCA wise. |

Is there a diference between the different colour's?
I think there is yellow, red, blue. Make a difference?
Does anyone know if they make really skinny ones like OEM JDM Japanese batterys? |

| Yes the colors do make a diff a red top is best for starting and general car use, i think a yellow is deep cycle, more for stereo comps with engine off, and blue i can't remember |

| i think blue is marine if i remember correctly...darcy go with the optima......except they are bright colors and might spoil your 'clean' look |

| I had a yellow top which I used to run my stereo and a red top under the hood to start the engine and so forth. |

| If you run a red top and a yellow top you should run an isolator. |
