certain * haha its been a long day

 

I have two 1000cca Duralast Gold in mine for two years with no problems

 

WoW

How about Odyssey?

I'm happy with my NAPA batteries I installed last winter.

 

Most part store computers show that our trucks need two 750cca but IMO that's not enough

 

I agree completely. I can't remember the CCA on mine but I made sure it was over 750. I was living in the cold high desert and needed some extra umph. The ones I bought were the highest rated available at NAPA. I bought them because some folks here relayed to me that they were a good choice for the money.

Haha thanks guys I just went to advanced auto parts and got the 850cca for now I was looking for above 850 but that's the highest they had

 

Yeah. I've got two Duralast Golds in my truck right now. 850 CCA. I haven't had a problem with them.

 

thanks guys good to here, and thanks for the quick reply

 

I'm assuming you replaced both? If not the old one will draw down the new one.

 

Hey brother, I'll admit that I'm a creature of habit and I believe that batteries are not worth going cheap on! I'm on my second set of Interstates. The first set in this truck lasted me over 7 years (MTP-65's are advertised for 85 months). Probably the only reason I swapped them out was because I don't feel comfortable keeping a battery over 5 years, but these batteries are great! If you do your battery maintenance several times a year and don't abuse them and keep them clean, then the $250+ for 2 MTP-65's (850 CCA's & 1000 CA's) will be money well spent! I always change batteries in sets so they are equal strength, plus it gives me a "warm fuzzy" too. I've drawn them down pretty low numerous times (ie-- trouble shooting and fighting with bad glow plugs at the end of the work day when I'm trying to get started on a freezing cold night) but if you put them on a battery charger right away instead of letting your alternator charge them up, then they will take care of you! I won't skimp on batteries, oil, or tires. Good luck!
