Optima Battery

[angelfj1]

I bought a CTek Multi-3300 charger for mine and it keeps it just at the right level. Not cheap, but neither are the batteries, so I felt it was worth it.

I must second Paul's comments. Both my TR250 and the Grey Lady have Optimas and the CTek Multi-3300 and have never let me down.

Re: CTEK charger

I sprung for one too Brosky. Mine has the recondition mode which i've run on the old Lucas battery. Took about 24 hr for it to cycle through all the modes and the "reconditioned" status light came one. Got some battery acid sweating out through the loosened caps. Noticed that the insides of the caps needed cleaning. When cleaned i noted that the caps have small reservoirs in the tops the catch take this up in the future.

Can anyone tell me when were the last Lucas batteries were last available?

The CTEK ive got also is designed to work especially on The Optima yellow top battery which i have in my other TR250, so it was worth the price to me.

Wonder what the C stands for

Thinking 'bout using an Optima battery
in my 4a. Has anyone used one of these ?
I'd ask for another choice; but don't know if the site
has enough space !

I have this "Lucas" - Optima in my 3A and the smart charger.
