Title: Glass Mat Technology Battery
Post by: Esstee 13 on January 31, 2013, 04:05:14 PM: Just wondering if anyone has used one of these batteries and if so what are they like. My battery in the 1300 is about to turn its toes up and i will need to buy a new one. Or has anyone got a better battery to recommend. Thanks...Tony :rd13

only difference is CCA (cold cranking amps)

I'm going for the 1100 version when I need to replace my current one.

a normal one

My local Autobarn and Superthief Auto wanted around $250 for a century battery. Figured i could almost get 3 gel batteries for that.
