<VV> 64 replacement battery

[Dale Dewald]

Hello Mark,

Go back to Batteries Plus and purchase an Optima type 51R.  This will be a 
yellow top deep discharge/cranking battery, but will work just great.  If 
they need a make and model of car before looking it up say that you need a 
battery for a '98 Honda Civic.

I have been replacing the batteries in all of our vehicles with 
Optimas.  The pair (yellow tops) in my 2001 Dodge 2500 (w/ Cummins diesel 
and snow plow) have survived 3 winters now without any sign of 
degradation.  I have never had a set of conventional Pb-acid batteries last 
more than 4 winters in a diesel plow truck.
