    Exide? No!

    Good goin' OSTEO....! You won't be disappointed with the duralast gold (I mean, yello...Ha!).
    I had also purchased the Exide 'orbital' for my '04 RumbleBee (yello', of course, too!) and wound up returning it 'dead' less than 12 months later. Only reason I tried it was due to a 'super price' at O'reilly's Auto. Turned out that they are super finicky when it comes to charging. Even had a label on it saying so! I carefully (very carefully, mind you) stuck it on my slow charger after winter storage and the thing crapped out!
    Wound up taking it back and got a replacement 'optima' for my truck. Funny thing, O'Reilly's auto stopped carrying the Exide 'orbital' due to problems like mine and gave me the optima to replace it. So, just a thought to ponder!

    Didn't read the entire thread so ''' sorry '' Overland Journal did a battery test a couple issues ago...

    Sears DieHard Platinum made by Odyssey got the highest rated battery... that's what I went with.

    For those of you who aren't familiar with Overland Journal their gear tests are legit!! they spare no expense (they even tested a $2,000 lithium) they don't mess around. These are batteries that people rely on in some of the worst conditions.
