Les Schwab Batteries

[DJ RickH10]

Have any of you ever used a Les Schwab battery in your PT? If so how does it compare to the stock battery vs some of the high end like Optima.

I need to change my battery. I'd love to go with an Optima but dont really want to put out that much cash on one. I can get a red top 75/35 for $141.

They're all I use, never had a problem. & the service is great.

Sorry never heard of that battery before, but I have a yellow top that run the stereo and some of the electronics. Even after I boiled it it has continued to work flawlessly. Be it tough it will only hold 10 volts now. But still holds a charge for a long time. It's good for the parking lot at night. I turn everything on and when the stuff shuts off I shut it all down. Once I'm back on the road I flip my iso switch and start recharging it.

Les Schwab Tires are a very well known chain of tires/wheels, brake & alignment & battery stores throughout the west. Check them out at Tires, Wheels, Batteries, Brakes and Much More! - Les Schwab Tire Centers Home Page. I've known about them for some time and have used them for brakes. As a matter of fact, when it came time to replace my brakes the first time, I went with them instead of the dealership. Got an excellant set of brakes that cost less than the factory ones and lasted twice as long. Haven't ever used their batteries before and wanted to check them out before I bought one from them.
