Default Battery

Where are you buying your batteries from? Mine died. Charged it up, took to get checked and it is dead, will not hold a charge. Guy at parts store told me it needed a charger not the trickle charge. I never put it on 2 amp to charge always left it on the 6. Something going on with new batteries that they need some new chargers or what? Let me know, Thanks.

Big Crank ETX30L Battery : Amazon.com : Automotive Big Crank ETX30L Battery : Amazon.com : Automotive

once discharged a battery looses much of it's capacity to recharge.

a tender will help to maintain a charge on a fully charged battery, but cannot restore a discharged battery- for that a "real" battery charger is needed...like 5 amps or so...24 hours.
if the battery is dead, dead, dead and falls on it's face when load tested- the link above is for the deka big krank. $100.

mine shipped from VA, so you might get one pretty quick if you ordered from them

I ordered through amazon as I could use my dicovercard points..so "free" - kinda.

Thanks for the info, I bought a big crank last year and it died already. Was hoping to find some other brand that was not to expensive.

I bought a Deka ETX-30L from Bohannon battery and it's been running strong for 2 years now in my 03 EG with big bore and Andrews cams.
