You've got me thinking solar. Is the solar charger fitted into the car or stays in the garage? If its mobile in the, car who sells them?

cheers

Sparky,



The one I'm referring to sits on the dash, and plugs into the cigarette lighter. I saw one at Batteries Plus for somewhere around $30, but have also seen them at Harbor Freight Tools for around $10. Would probably be just the thing to give that little battery a little extra oomph.

thanks pete - hadn't seen the kit in a while now - done it in other cars too, but not with this much current drain from the engine



still trying to choose a battery - the optima seems to have a lot less cca per cu inch - the interstate i have now has tons - to get that high, i need a 75lb optima



what models of optima are people using out there on stock cars?

I have both a Yellow Top and Red Top in my vehicles. Also Kragen sells their version which actually rated better than Optimas in a couple of magazine ,"shoot outs". They call it Orbital. Their website has more details.
