Are all original batteries for prowlers color coded to the car? Mine is bright yellow.. I was surprised to see that. However its going to be replaced today w/ a new one |

Clor coded? I doubt it. I am still running on my original battery, 2001 Kat. Pushing my luck, I guess.  |

Why can't we get an "original type" battery like that which came with the Kat? |

I thought it was original..hey it was yellow..i assumed red prowlers had red batteries, purple ones had purple batteries..etc...but the yellow top was 7 yrs old i think according the punch out on the dates..or 6+ ... and it kept dying so asta la vista. but this whole situation forced me to open the hood, which i probably never would have |

Check out the glove box and trunk too! Lots of neat things to explore on these cars!   |

Walmart replaced my 2 year old battery yesterday under warranty while I was on a trip with no paperwork and no questions asked. Convenience is worth something. I believe Walmart batteries are made by Johnson Controls and they are a major battery manufacturer. |

You might also want to check out some light weight batteries out there, which can weigh a lot less than the regular ones. They are becoming more popular and don't cost much more than regular ones. Good weight savings up front for little money. Cheers. |

I suspended my battery from a bar above it going across to each bumper mount so my car would be lighter and faster.  |

My Optima red top was a POS and needed jumped constantly. It stopped holding a charge after 3 years, and I fought it for two more. I was finally smart enough to put in a generic wet cell battery from Auto Zone and so far no problems. |

I have never had an Optima battery but I sure have read a lot of horrible reviews about them on POA. |

Replaced battery on old blue today, it didn't belly up, just figured it was time. The heat wave kinda made me think it was a good idea . Went with the Advanced Auto gold. Noticed that the whining noise I had from the drivers side speaker went away,so maybe that's what was causing it? |
