Battery question
Hello everyone,
it looks like the battery on my 97 TJ (6 cylinder) finally died. Before I
go out and just buy one at Canadian Tire, do you guys have any suggestions
on which make is better or which make to stay away from?
Thank You very much.
Joe.

Re: Battery question
I tried the 'eliminators', but they wouldn't hold up in my CJ7. The
vibration kept breaking the plates so the battery would show 0 volts.
They only lasted 8 months or so.
I have had great service life out of them in other vehicles.
I went Optima for their supposedly vibration resistance. I did get 3
years out of it, but same deal, one cell got damaged.
I guess that doesn't help much, because I didn't find a good one for an
off road Jeep.
