Current favorite battery brands? Posted by StoicBlue87 [Email] (#1829) [Profile/Gallery] (more from StoicBlue87) on Fri, 18 Jan 2019 06:01:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My 87 turbo battery may be dead or close to needing replacement.
I have been working from home for the past few months and thus my highway commute has disappeared.
I now drive maybe four miles per day in neighborhood stop-go conditions.
My Interstate Megatron battery is giving me problems as occasional highway driving doesn't seem to restore much charge and I'm cringing as I barely crank the engine over in random parking locations. My alternator is putting out high 13V to low 14V when last checked. I'm also checking and topping off the battery fluid as needed.
The battery retains a decent zap if I use the garage charger but I'm starting to get a little nervous about this battery (it's around 2 years old). I had a nice open parking lot to pop the clutch during a downpour yesterday but that solution gets old after a couple of days.
I'm losing faith in the Interstate brand (this is a pro-rated replacement from a failed earlier purchase).
If I need a new battery, what present brands are making people happy?
Thanks.
