Battery choice

Optima yellows or reds for 1009?

Optimus are not what they used to be. A set of Group 31 refurbs from Interstate (>$50 ea) work well for me.

If you have to get Optimas I would get the yellow top since they are a deep cycle and can be discharged/recharged more times than the red top.

I bought two 1000cc parts master batterys from performance auto, they came with a five year warranty and they fit perfectly in the small slots that hold the battery from sliding around. The're about the exact same size as the original military batterys, but they have a lot more cold cranking power and the're a deep cycle!
