Big Box Warehouses And Deka AGM Batteries?
A friend with a tow truck (Ford 7.3 Diesel) wishes to purchase a pair of decent AGM batteries. This is for south-of-the border, on the Pacific coast side.
Lifeline is not the best choice for ultimate CCA. I fitted his 3G alternator with a fixed voltage 14.0 regulator. Normal service see's short runs or long runs in 108F summer temperatures. The truck has a float charger plug in.
He jump starts big rigs. Sometimes the engines are 570 horsepower 3406 caterpillar and they need all the honk they can get to turn over.
His budget is $429 dollars (peso to dollar conversion).
Rather than go on a wild-goose chase I thought I'd ask here, first.
