      I cant remember what battery is in the Cressida but I had the exact same in the Statesman for a few weeks and it shit itself in that too. Same size and CCA and all. Never get that brand. I'll have a look tomorrow and post it.

        One more thing to add, old track mustang sits around and gets neglected whilst im fiddling around with other toys. In 2 years i have never charged the thing and it is only cranked over a few times a year, started it for the first time in 6 months last weekend. Cranked over like it was yesterday.

                    The odyssey i had in the VS would go flat after 3-4 days.

                      +1 for Optima

                      Even the Redtop ive got which is really only a starting battery still lasts longer than any other battery ive had, and its half the size and weight too

                        I thought the reds were better than the yellows. Guess not.

                        I'll drop into the battery joint in Morty tomorrow and have a chat.

                          yeah have a talk

                          as far as i know, reds have more crank but yellows have more current for audio applications

                          but since i only have a normalish car with a donkey radio the cheaper yellow should do fine

                            yellows are deep cycle too which apparantly means they can go flat/ be recharged more times before they sh1t themselves

                              been running an optima for a few years now, great battery, heaps of CCA for comparable sized batteries and lots of reserve.

                              i have killed one though, didnt use/charge it for about 6 months then wouldnt accept a charge after that.

                              brought mine from batteries world and didnt have any issues with warranty claim.

                              would defiantly buy again, though they are heavy pricks.
