Subject:Costco vs. diehard batteries
From:Jeff Oxroad
Date:Tue, 5 Aug 2003 15:54:50 EDT

Hello all--

My bus needs a battery. Anyone run a Costco battery and have experience and
know the cost?
I've got a die hard in there which lasted about three years--and the one
before that last about three years.

I use the bus sporatically so the battery sits idle for weeks at a time and
use the camping stuff off the same battery which I think limits the battery
longevity a bit as well.

Does the Optima red top fit in the battery compartment and are there
advantages to the $99 price (that's the costco price for the red optima)?

Any advice or other leads for "the greatest battery I've ever put in my
campmobile" appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff
