Sealed, AGM, gel batteries:

Post by DonaldDouchebag »

Anyone have a sealed, glass mat, or gel-type battery brand they like? I'm replacing an Optima red top that actually lasted quite a few years. Probably will get another Optima but I wondered what else people liked.
Like that, y'all, pop some more shit.

I’ve had good longevity out of Optima red tops as well.

A lot of people like Odyssey but I don’t have any first-hand experience.

I had a reconditioned Odyssey once and it pooped out immediately and I returned it. Sometimes I'm too cheap.

Went with one of these Northstars after doing some reading--five-year full replacement warranty and the reviews are really good. Made in the USA, too.
