    Default What are the best batteries on the market right Now?

    I think my batteries need to be replaced and I was wondering what is the best batteries I can buy on the market for a good price? I do have a TV, toaster oven and heated blanket.

    thanks in advance

    If you can wait about 6 months, get the firefly oasis.

    I buy whatever the KW dealer has on sale, and replace them every 3 years, NEVER had a problem since I started this cycle 15 years ago.

    If a set goes thru 3 winters, I got my moneys worth.

    Hey Maniac

    Do u have any acessories in your truck that you power off the batteries? I was thinking about purchasing Diehards batteries from sears because they have a good replacement plan if it dies before 3 years..

    It's a new type of battery. It is just coming out to the market.

    www.fireflyenergy.com

    It will blow the doors off anything out there.

    If you want "cheap but good" batteries get the caterpillar 825 CCA batteries. not the big CCA ones, that's a mistake many people make. Always get the lower CCA batteries. They have thicker plates and can cycle a lot more.

    Since switching to Optimas about 6 months ago, I actually shut my truck off to load and unload my cars in my trailer (my hydraulics are electronic) and the truck always starts right up. They charge quicker than any other batteries I've had as well.
