- Was watching one of the garage shows on TV the other day and saw "Dyna_Batt". Thgis is a full capability drycell battery for race car use as well as OEM replacement. It is small in size and can be ha

- Quite a few cars have the battery in the cockpit as long as it is a gel or dry. Mine is inside ( it is an Optima), but it is in a box as all bateries can break open in a crash, even if there is no l

- The NAPA Marine Deep Cycle gel battery is also very, very good, very long-lasting in a total-loss setup in a race car. Much tougher and higher voltage than a common car battery. Bill /// unsubscribe/

- I agree with Bill. A conventional car battery is designed to furnish short periods of very high current for cranking. It is also designed to be recharged immediately by an alternator, not allowed to

- I believe it is made by Exide. The Optima patent expired several years ago so a number of gel brands are hitting the market. Exide is also selling batteries branded as "NASCAR" which are supposed to

- Right on, Neil. As you say, the deep-cycle battery doesn't like high charging voltages so it is best used with no charging system(total-loss) in a race car, and re-charged with the special charger NA

- Thanks for your recommendation of the NAPA Marine Deep-Cycle battery. I've needed to get a battery for the loading- ramp winch and other electrics in my car trailer and that one sounds like what I n

- It says on the top it is NOT to be charged at higher than 14.4 volts(or may be damaged thereby). So this would be prohibitive in a racecar with an MSD etc ignition and a charging system that might wa
