Dick; I use Optima batteries. The first one I bought lasted so long I
couldn't stand it. I gave it to a sail boat guy who is using it for his
running lights. It must be 10 years old by now. An alternator is still a
good deal. RF

> Anybody had any experience with Optima batteries? How about the other dry
cells (absorbed glass mat technology) on the market now? A local racer
friend said he has had bad luck with Optimas taking less and less of a
charge each time he charges it, resulting in short life. He recommended the
Interstate NASCAR battery. I'm still considering a total loss system with
two batteries. One for ignition and the other for starting, electric water
pump and fuel pump. Even if I do finally elect to run an alternator, I'm
still looking for battery feedback.
