As far as im aware i think they are dry cell batteries, they can take a hell of a beating off road.

I would take on but simply cant afford it :(
 
Can i take one please mate? Ill give. You a pm when im home, in an 88 truck at the moment with not much battery! Hahaha typcal eh? ;)
 
I had one of these in my 90 300 tdi and it made a huge difference. The redtop optimas have a very high CCA (i think its about 850 from memory?) which is what you want on a diesel. Also as a dry cell they have very low self discharge rates so you can leave it for several months and it will still have plenty of juice to start your battery (provided you havent got something draining it of course)

They don't last that long if you, errm, don't have an alternator belt and, errm, don't realise and keep stopping and starting your engine all day :eek: (whilst also running a laptop)

But... yes, they are good batteries if the above scenario is not attempted!
