They're up to $120??? I bought mine at O'Reilly for $80 a few years ago...
Not sure what the going rate is, but you might look into an Optima battery. They're Miata-friendly (some kind of gel cell) with a really good warranty to boot.
FWIW - I think this is still the TCB champ on a new AGM Battery - http://www.staabbattery.com/category...Batteries.html
Thanks POS... Between the new house, and the new wife, my wallet needs all the TCB hints it can get.
Will be $99 shipped from them.... How reliable are they as far as quality? If the oreilies battery fails, ican take it tothem an bitch, but if a mail order battery fails i'm kinda SOL.....
I just realised why my miata batter is dead. I last drove the car May 5th.... It has been parked in the parents garage through me remodeling the new house and moving......
rick- i used to have an optima battery, and loved it. however, lately I've heard of a lot of people having problems with them......
Have you put it on a low amp charger for an extended period (24 hours+)? That may bring it back.
I put the Stabb Battery in my wife's Miata and it has done a fine job.
+1. My battery ran down a while back. Hooked up a cheap HF trickle charger and it brought it back from the dead.Quote:

I have one you can borrow/keep if I can find it. It's somewhere in my folks' garage...Quote:

I'll go look for it on Saturday unless I end up over there sooner.
mk, i'll let you know... i may be headed to HF in the morning, need anything?
ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The HF trickle charger did the job in 24 hours. $4.99 beats $120+ ...... hopefully the battery lasts.
Now I just need to go to TDR next week to get my top looked at......
Closed Monday but I'll check it out Tues-Fri.Quote:
