    Battery Time....2005 ETEC 200 HO

    Getting real close to time to get a new starting battery. I've been running a Optima Blue Top that has been o.k. but I've been reading some comments that the Optima ain't what it used to be so I guess I'll try something else. Would like to stay with a AGM.

    Curious to what everybody else is using.

    It depends a lot on your accessories but me and hundreds of others swear by the X2 from Batteries plus bulbs. Same as the North Star. Group 31 is best of course.

    Napa 7234 has been serving me well for the past year. It's not an AGM, but at least it's maintenance free.
