You can use it as a regulated power supply also. I use it to power a turnigy unit to charge my Son's model batteries and razor scooter. V8 supercar teams use these units also. Couldn't go wrong with one of these. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78453-optima-battery-for-my-ba/page/4/#findComment-1221168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I researched and bought one after getting a yellow top and it's meant to me on snowflake mode for Optimas.

wastegate Donating Members 15 Member For: 15y 6m Gender: Male Location: Camden Posted 20/04/12 06:02 AM Share Posted 20/04/12 06:02 AM Don't have an optima in the T but use two yellow tops in my Fourby running driving/camp lights, fridge, winch, diff locks etc.150k over 5 yrs on some rough tracks and only replaced one a month ago after forgetting to turn off the fridge and not running the trucks for a week 😂. Normally after a good charge these things would revive but this was once too often; RIP old yella'I have heard any AGM battery needs a hefty voltage (14.4+) over a decent period to keep it at peak otherwise they tend to charge lower than 100%. Not a technician but heard some Prado owners boost the volts to the battery; as the engine heats up the alt reduces the volts below that needed to float AGM type batteries.

I have noticed over the last few days/weeks that its taking a bit longer to crank over. It has died on me before and I jump start it and its still goes for a while, but now it died again. Is this normal for this type of battery? I have jumped started it and have left the car idling for a while. Its the Odessey that comes with the Nizzy stage 2 (pc925??) and its about 2-3 years old (bought it second hand with the rest of the kit.)Ps. the car is driven daily.Do I need a new battery?What would be a direct replacement and is a good battery?Cheers.

But if the battery is on its way out a ctek would be pointless?
