no, no complaints, works flawless, i ran my system (2600 watts) for an hour and my car started right up.

could this help reduce somewhat the diming of lights when ac is on or when u roll windows down things that drain power i know usuallly a better alt stops that but could a batt like this do that.

absolutely. if you don't want dimming, get a optima batt and a high output alt.

My old engine bay pic. Haha.. doesn't look like this no more.
The blue top is the same as the yellow top except w/ two marine posts. It is a deep cycle. With a longer warranty than the yellow top. Blue top has 7 yr warranty (3 yr free replacement,4 yr pro-rated). Only thing is you need to use aftermarket terminals. They don't have the GM side mount terminals.
