Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10022 Registered: Jul-06 | The 90s are not known to hold up real well under the hood of a daily vehicle. They've been popular in competition cars for some time now. And yeah some organizations are considering banning them b/c that battery is not intended for use in a car. |

The sudden demands of a car amp is up and down, as you know. Thats what differentiates them from car batteries. And a typical charge in normal use is like a .5-2 amp trickle charge. If you can get them, they are a good battery. I also heard that the company was not selling them anymore to the public, but only to companies. Doesnt make sence, but irc, thats what i read when reserching them myself. |
