[urq] new battery

[Ed Torres]

Steve,

 

International are great, I had very good luck with them usually 5 yrs life....

But lately I have use red top by optimum? in both of my car.  The UrQuattro has one and the 964 Porsche has one.   

 

The quattro sat for the month of Nov and Dec and started right up. (cold days here and there in Nov and many cold days in Dec)  (also no more hard-hot-start problems)

 

The Porsche was another story..Fully charged only lasted 1 week...so now it is with a special chrager from Porsche and is always ready to start.

 

I hope it gives you and Idea.
