battery question

[Pandemic]

Alright, well my battery is 5 years old... need a new one.
The current one has a sleeve over the battery that seems to lock into the tie-down pretty well. That sleeve doesnt fit over another battery I have... only by a few mm.

a). should I hold onto the sleeve or can I use the tie-down on a battery without it? (probably can... want to ask first :P )
b). whats a good replacement battery?


Thanks!

well, from what I hear, the odyssey batteries are supposed to be the best battery on the market. however, I have always run napa brand batteries and haven't had any problems with them. so to each his own. and as far as the sleeve and tie down go. I don't have a lot of experience with that because I've never had this but I would assume you can still use the tie down without the sleeve.

yea i have a battery with a sleeve. i just slide the tie down underneath it and bolt it down.

nah, this is a seperate piece. I put the battery in, then there's a sleeve that (was) on the old one, and that locks into the tie down. Probably dont need it, but I want some feed back about it.

Odyssey is the best is not the best statement. Too many things apply to what makes a battery good and what its intended to do. It depends on the application getting used. Its just small and compact. If you have a powerful sound system to go with that the odyssey = shit compared to a normal wal mart battery.

I'm going to assume I dont need the sleeve for now...
