lol i think your looking at the front terminal, look at the top terminal. it uses the same 10mm posts that the hawker batteries use. They are great daily batteries, and winter batts as well. Ive used them for the last 2.5 years and no complaints

And where do you find an NSB90 locally? Im pretty close to you, and if there in the $200 range, and you say there good in winter and daily driving Im down for trying

DO you have an HO alt? do you have a charger on them daily? I dont plan on competing or anything, just want something that will last and keep up to the 4k+ draw Im pulling

Why does the site show this as the NSB90
http://www.npstelecom.com/pdfs/Northstar/NSB90FT.pdf

Looks like a briefcase, and some pics it looks like a regular battery on google search. But you use yours daily on how big of a stock alt? And your voltage drops to...? Im in the mid 11's now and my amp is shutting off.... so I need these batts ASAP.

Any experience with the NSB170?

Wish that place was open on weekends

Last years fad?? Im not into fads, Im looking for the best bang for the buck, reliably.

****, for 15+ mins is what I do. I dont compete, I dont burp, I just play my music, car on, and driven every single day.

i drive a chevy aveo dude, im lucky if i have a 90a stock alt lol. I can let the fly with the 90 and car on for hours on end. And the nsb is still the choice of serious competitors that dont want to unnecessarily spend 2x the money on a hawker. I can name a few of the world class guys that still use and swear by nsb's
