Alright here's another question. What do you guys use to keep the fuzz off of your terminals?

Do a search and you will find plenty of threads on this topic! You can go with the Optimas but too me that is way to much bones for one! I went with good ole O'REILLY Super Starts over the X-Mas break and love them so far! 850 CCA's/120 reserve........my stockers lasted 7.5 years so if you take care of them they will last you!!....

at an early age, I would always go to get new batteries with my grandpa at leswab. Family has always had good luck with them, even when A 2x6 drove through one on the LUV, the guy replaced it no questions asked. Just make sure they install them because if you install them and something happenes, they didnt give me the warranty and said I did it on instalation....That made me REAL mad.

you can get a protective spray to spray over your terminals to eliminate the "fuzz" WD-40 works, just need to re spray every so often lol.

I have the Duralast Gold 850cca 1000ca 150 reserve, to sets of the felts (red and green rings), to adjustable battery tie/clamps (b/c the tops were a little bit to wide for the factory tie down) for about $213 w/ military discount. After the install I then sprayed them with the usual red battery terminal lube.
