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. |

Just a 1500 watt inverter for the laptop and printer, don't have any other accessories. |

| 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. |
