I think it was the combination of both. The SDS seems to make the car idle better now, which wasn't something I was expecting.2BN_S13 wrote:Was it just all the junctions that made the drop you think or was it just the length of wiring that made it drop? I'm just curious for the moment.
It's actually got 300 CCA available. I can borrow the ammeter from work and see what kind of load it pulls though.2BN_S13 wrote:Also, your battery may be fine for now, but perhaps in the future after many start ups you may see the same issues again but with a twist. Look at the cold start-up amps available from the battery (available from the manufacturer sticker) and compare them to what your car pulls when cranking cold using an ammeter.
This battery has ALWAYS started the car right up, no problems, even the day I replaced it. The only reason I replaced it was because I was hoping it would fix the problem. I had the charging system tested and it came out OK. I used this thing all through the winter last year, and it gets pretty cold here in Kansas.2BN_S13 wrote:This will decide the life of your battery. If you wish to keep the current battery I would suggest you pull the battery every few nights and charge it with a house charger or charge it in the car.
As I said before, I will replace it later, but for now it's a low priority as it works very well.
NOW QUIT GIVING ME CRAP ABOUT MY BATTERY!!!
