Battery recommendations
- Thread starter aljones
- Start date
Not only heat! You have never tried to start a car at -50 deg.!!
one night at that kind of temperature will freeze a battery. They will split and the output voltage is 0.0. As well, at -40 or lower you can pick up the leaking frozen battery liquid as it is like soft plastic. Everything is hard as a rock at those temperatures. including your booster cables. low cost cables, the insulation will crack and break like glass when you straighten out the cables. I use welding cables that are good to -65 deg f. they are still hard to straighten at -40.
i cant quite remember but will call the guy tomorrow i think about $350 kiwi pesos so about $10US, that figure might have included the tender. Might have been less i bought the biggest crank one i could get it can start a truck apparently.
Actually around $280US on todays rate but i will check it out, i was after lightweight so was not too concerned over the cost remember everything costs more down here.
They run them in the Ktm Red Bull enduro dirt bikes so i know they can take a beating.

I would LOVE to have another panasonic AGM battery. My OEM 2002 one is still going.

The thing is unbelievable!!! I am about to put a few bullet holes in it... "DIE MF, DIE!!!"
LOL... just trying to save a few pounds but man this thing is well built. It's not even that heavy, it's a good 12 pounds lighter than the earlier NSX batteries.

i didn't know there were oem batteries that were agm,or am i misreading you.do you know the part #?
the reason i ask is that when i bought my car,it had a new acura battery,p/n 31500-sl5-100m.it was a pos,dying within a year if the car sat for 5-6 days.my mechanic said it was the wrong size,and rec'd an agm so it wouldn't leak and damage the long starter cable which runs to the motor,which is hard to get to.
