Maybe throw in some electric theory as well, such as building cables from welding cable or hot rodding an alternator.


Those would be excellent stickys!

This!!!!
I have been moving over to EBL rechargeable batteries. So far so good.
I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium for by deepfreeze alarm.

There is alot of very useful info on what are the right batteries to use for each situation.
And why buy an expensive brand battery when Wal-Mart's everlast maxx has a fantastic warranty?

I will let Chris Farley make my argument for me....

I care more about quality. Does that mean buying from an auto parts store? Or paying more money? No.

No offense, but I didn't believe you about that at first and had to check. That's laughable !! A sub-forum dedicated to cabin air filters ?

You do realize the batteries sold at walmart, autozone, advance auto are all exactly the same product, right??

everstart maxx = duralast gold = autocraft gold. All made by JCI with difference stickers.

A battery is nothing more than a plastic case, with lead plates and electrolyte solution.

Don't go in the 'oil' forum ! Every single day someone asks what oil to use, when to change it, etc .... and a debate ensues every time ! Do what the manufacturer says, change it when the oil-life-monitor says to, change it every 3000 miles, and so on.

I think we should start a forum where we talk about oil and maybe oil filters...

All,

We have changed the name of "Automotive Lighting" to "Automotive Electrical" with a description: "Electrical Systems, Lighting, Batteries, Charging, Online Service Systems, etc"

We now have a place to for battery discussions.
