Batteries

[Hunter]

Well, my 2019 challenger hellcat battery has given up it's ghost.
Any recommendations as the best replacement?

I just got a new interstate battery from Costco...quick and easy.

Thought about one of those Lithium batteries though

Almost bought one. They were 299

Besides the weight savings, it seems to have more power available and discharges slower during the storage months is my observation on it. Looking forward to hooking it back up to the monster next week and putting it on the ground for the season.😊

Stupid question.
Can you post a link to this specific battery from their site (or whoever's site that is from)?
Also that specific battery fits with no issues correct?
I'm having a horrible time searching their website for this battery

Sorry Hunter. It fits perfect. Difference? You need nearly a crane to remove your old battery. A small child can place the new battery into the compartment!

I got mine off of Amazon, I think others have also.

I’ll send you the link in a PM.

I thought those pretty much went to after they moved production from the US to Mexico ??

I gave up after the 3rd bad one. Pain to return when used for a few months. Just died randomly 3x. New agm was fine. Wouldn't by optima again. 💩

They most certainly did, but I guess my brand loyalty prevailed and I stuck with them, and can now report my last couple have been better...not OG Colorado better (yet), but better than after first transitioned. More time will tell.

Do you keep a float charger on it?

Do you keep a float charger on it?

I do, yes, on all 3 of my non-daily Mopars...small Optima 4A units.

I won't go into all of the issues my brother was having with his Jeep GC. He then bought an Interstate from Costco. The problems got worse. Some places he went too to test the battery said the new battery was good, others said it was bad. Finally, he went to an electric specialty shop, they told him they stopped selling Interstate batteries after the production went to China as the batteries were failing consistently, and that his was bad.
He took it back to Costco. Went to Walmart, got their best battery and all of the issues he was having cleared up.
FWIW, I have been using Walmart's best batteries for more than 20 years and had one that was 11 years old when I replaced it.
