My experience with batteries is extensive. The best battery in my opinion is Interstate Battery, for Flooded Lead Acid Battery (Wet Cell) and AGM ,Absorbent Glass Mat Battery. For Gel Cell Battery (Dry Cell) I prefer Optima battery’s. A lot of battery companies calm high Cold cranking amp rating’s but don’t actually test out that high. Also the led cell in most battery’s are very close to the bottom of the battery and can short out sooner over time as the lead scales flakes off the the cell and falls to the bottom. Interstate battery have real world CCA claims and are designed more like a deep cycle battery and take more abuse. The Optima battery are great for off reading where you are bouncing around and are at steep angles and are true to CCA ratings too

Any wise input on what is a good 12volt car battery? (nm) - Jesse, 2022-02-04, 19:20
