Talking

The other day I was at my friends house and he showed me in the Crappy Tire catalog that they are selling gel cell batteries starting at $179 or so...

Now is this price and quality comparable to the Optima gel cells?

Just curious..

are you talking about their ones that look almost identical to the optima's? I've got one, and it's a great battery!

the new cell batteries from CT are in fact a deep cycle battery. they are made by Exide co. and as stated these are made on the same premise as the optima batteries.. take it from a LONG time CT employee.
