Ok, so I have continually drained an Optima Red Top. I recently purchased a Optima Yellow top.
I went to move the truck the other day and the yellow top was dead. I can say I may have left the passenger door open for about a week. That may be the culpret on this one.
However, an issue I am experiencing is when I attempt to tighten the positive terminal is slips and I have to re tighten it with the same result. I can see that the positive connections are not compressing.
I looked at the threads on the battery and they seem fine, so I am thinking the problem is more the threads on the cable terminal.
What are some side post terminals I may want to look at? Better than average?
In the near future I want to change to top post, but Im not there yet.. I imagine I will need longer wires for that, and I am not even really sure to start with that as well.
Suggestions for correcting the current side post issue and upgrading to the future top post would be greatly appreciated.....
