Re: What kind of battery?
I had a Red Top.
Bought it a few years back for the Corvette and never got around to installing it.
Fast forward 5 years and I noted it sitting on the floor in my storage shed so I figured I'd pick it up and drag it to Mexico with me.
Got down here and threw it on the boat. There it sat and bounced and moved around for another year without being used.
The following spring, when I went to start the boat it had 2 flat batteries.
My Son was with me and suggested that we hook up the Red Top. At first, I told him to forget about it that the battery was probably junk as it was so old and had never been hooked up.
To my surprise, the engine turned over and started right up.
I left the one battery hooked up for about half that season (doing the work of 2 marine batteries) with absolutely no problems.
Optima Rocks!
