Thread: Which Battery is best?

>Jig rig's suggestion that another brand can offer up to four times the reserve capacity of our batteries is very misleading.

And what is misleading about my suggestion?. Can't be the cold cranking amps. The Trogan has more (CCA) than the Optima. Not that it matters. They (Trogan) have more than enough to crank an out board.

The warranty issues are a problem with the Optima batteries. Which has been lowered.

You could post the Consumer Reports comparison testing too.

The original post was about gel batteries which Optima doesn't offer.

Jig rig, you cited one specification of one of our batteries. In the next sentence, you speculated (falsely) about the quality of our products. In the sentence after that, you indicated another battery brand offers more than four times as much reserve capacity as our battery. What you didn't bother to explain was that you were comparing two entirely different battery group sizes. That's like telling someone who isn't familiar with trucks, that a Kenworth can haul more than an F-350, without explaining that one is significantly larger, significantly more expensive and may not be suitable for the same applications.

Talk about misleading.

I stated "Optima battery rate 150 down to 100 minutes discharge rate at 25amps" Which one spec is in that statement?

No speculation on your products. JMO. I've got three of your mexican made batteries under the bench that failed a few months out of warrenty.

I did no comparing of batteries. Just stated the facts. Which is Trogan makes batteries with higher discharge rate capacity than Optima. If that staments is not correct send me a link that shows differant.

Which one is better? Shiners or jigs?

Move PLEASE!!! lol

Move to wot
