Title: Free Optima Battery - D31M Blue Top
Post by: SethV on August 02, 2010, 12:10:01 PM
I have a 1 year old Optima D31M Blue Top.  This is the biggest battery that Optima makes - it works ok, but is not big enough for me, so I am going with another brand and 25% larger battery.

The D31M has 900 CCA and 155 Min reserve.

Free to whoever picks it up in Wixom, MI.

I'll swing by. I just bought 3 of these and could use one as a spare.

Ok Brian, should I try to drive a hard bargan and trade it for a bag of Nemisis Gobys??   :D

I am leaving Warren at about 5:30 today, so if you can make it 6:30 - 7 that would be better.  It is still in the boat, won't take long to pull it out.

What battery are you going with that's 25% larger? I'm kinda looking for a new battery myself.

Sears Die Hard Platinum.  It is also an AGM battery, with 1150 CCA and 205 RC.  $250

Just spend $150 more and get a stealth charger on board alternator charger and you won't need bigger batteries.  Haven't plugged in two weeks.  The volt gauge is also a must.
