thegr8cody Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 i can get an optima redtop for $100 new and i was wondering if it'd be better to put in the back of my blazer with my stock battery up front,or just do away with the stock one and put it up front,and also since im only running an a3000db if i run the optima in the rear can i use just a positive run off the battery or will i also have to do a negative,i was thinking just a positive run and ground the battery to the chassis and amp to battery?

AI James Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 id put that red top in front and save for something in that back if needed later Quote
Guest MegaloManiac Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 put the red up front. be done with it. sealed gel cells battery really shouldnt be linked with a lead acid liquid battery. Quote
NordicDude Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Look out its Nordic the Thread Jacker! I have a redtop laying around, and its hasent been charged for a while! And when i used a P.O.S charger the charger just went into "protect" and didnt want to charge anymore, should i try another charger or contact the shop i baught it from!?

Guest MegaloManiac Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 if its under warranty(red top comes with 3yr i believe) take it back and get a new one. if you want to use a charger use one that will Condition the battery and charge it, like meades powermaster Quote
BURRITO Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 if its under warranty(red top comes with 3yr i believe) take it back and get a new one. if you want to use a charger use one that will Condition the battery and charge it, like meades powermaster not 3 year replacement, but 3 year prorate FTL!!! if you got your purchase date i'll be happy to calculate proration for you.
