Re: [DML] Battery Question

[Chris Almy <chris.almy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks to get a red top Optima 
battery. They fit just fine and perform very well. Also they won't leak 
which can destroy the carpet (just ask the PO of my D). I've had one for 
1.5 years and so far it's held up well to the abuse the DeLorean electrical 
system can put it through.

You might notice that there is also a yellow top Optima battery. This is 
deep cycle and costs more. I wouldn't recommend them as they have less 
capacity and lower CCA. Unless you run something for long periods of time 
off the battery when the engine isn't running, then they aren't necessary.
