Whats with everyone and knocking down CT Products. Yea they have the odd ones that don't work, just like every other company.

Personally, I've used the Motomaster 72 in my vehicles for years and never had a problem with it, and when it does... it was always covered under warrenty.

They have a pretty good standby life on them, around 80 minutes or more I think. All that I know is that I've had my Neons, Stereo (Amp going, Subs pounding)Thumpin', for a good 45 minutes and my car still started perfectly.

If you want a free battery... go to a jump yard, find about 10 batteries and give them into CT. I think they give you $5 per battery if its in good condition.

That's not what I want to hear! I just bought one of those. Oh well, I know I don't have to spend $$$ on one for atleast another 3 years.

I had a Diehard Gold in my Trans Am and it worked flawlessly and ran the car/stereo excellent for 2 yrs until I sold the car.
