Powerware Batteries?

[MikeMartel 64]

Not too sure what to think of these... 100ah batteries for 160 bucks? I'm assuming that build quality isn't there compared to other high end battery makers, would they even be worth using? I'll probably be needing some backup electrical sometime soon and don't have a ton of money.

We have several guys using the "2nds" or "refurbed" powerware down this way. They seem to do OK at best. I would think that if you look around you would likely find better for the price.

Best advice is to look at battery outlet stores. Many of them will carry 2nds, refurb, or blims. Which on a budget are hard to pass up, all though they are not really built to work with what you would be using them for.

Yeah. I saw blemished knew going for about 80 bucks.. That's crazy inexpensive. And too be honest. If I were to get 3 group 31's and a group 34 upfront. I'm hoping that it would be more than enough to run my single crescendo 3500 at .5

I don't think are meant for automotive use.

They are ok. My diehard g31s were considerably stronger than my c&d 540 Mr. Granted I got it for 60$ vs 200 for the diehard

[Julian 641]

130 ah vs 100 ah also
