the battery of choice for those that go where others dont dare.

no, that is not rust or dirt - MUD that the 4x4 collected on the local mud holes.

Fox,
Well, did the battery run well? give you the extra ponies you hoped for?
Welcome to the Gel Club. I should have started a "Rebel's GEL Club" when i first kicked
off this controversy in Allante world. We be up to quite a few members by now.
Like some have said, this is a no brainer ....
=====================
for all those members of this site that missed the jest of the prior discussions, my '88 Allante
carries a GEL BATTERY and numerous Allante owners have now switched to the GEL Batteries -
I use the Optima, but there are other brands that works just as well. It is now over 4 years old,
past its 3 year warranty, it looks as new as the day it got put into the compartment behind the seats,
no leakage of any sort, never a problem keeping the charge - I simply dont think about it anymore.
When it is time to replace it, a twin Red Top Gel will take its place.
i dont have to worry about acid fumes eating away the carpeting, the upholstery, or the BOSE system
that shares the compartment .
Gel Optima #15, RED top, 720 CCA
Key Features:
The Optima Battery is 100% Leak Proof - non-spillable!The Optima Battery is 100% Maintenance Free - No adding water!The Optima Battery can last up to 2X Longer than regular batteries!The Optima Battery is 15 times more resistant to vibration
Completely maintenance free. Sealed construction eliminates periodic watering, corrosive acid fumes and spills.
Electrolyte will not stratify, no equalization charging required. Allows faster recharge.

Less than 2% per month stand loss means little deterioration during transport and storage.
Tank formation ensures voltage matching between cells..no acid fumes to harm interiorsno liquid spills in an accidentno sipping corrosive leaksclean battery compartmentminimal or no corrosion on terminalslong term storage without losing charge
.does you car battery reside under the back seat?
or as in the Allante inside the passenger compartment?
think about these features

More Starting Power
OPTIMA batteries deliver a higher level of power to the starter in the critical first 10 seconds of the vehicle starting cycle.They feature a patented SPIRALCELL Technology allowing for the lowest internal resistance of any battery on the market today. This decreased internal resistance,along with the completely sealed case,is the key to Optima's unparalleled high power delivery, increased cycle life and fast recharge capability for fast recovery in short driving cycles.
