Subject:      Costco vs. diehard batteries
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hello all--


My bus needs a battery. Anyone run a Costco battery and have experience and
know the cost?
I've got a die hard in there which lasted about three years--and the one
before that last about three years.


I use the bus sporatically so the battery sits idle for weeks at a time and
use the camping stuff off the same battery which I think limits the battery
longevity a bit as well.


Does the Optima red top fit in the battery compartment and are there
advantages to the $99 price (that's the costco price for the red optima)?


Any advice or other leads for "the greatest battery I've ever put in my
campmobile" appreciated.


Thanks
Jeff
