The last battery I purchased was for the tractor. It was junk within a year. This one, -

Amazon Amazon


I should of never strayed away from Odyssey batteries, never will again. The Odyssey in the 98 was installed in 09, still going strong.... at last check anyway. EnerSys batteries are the best for the money IMO.

The battery in my Toyota is an Exide, and so is the battery in Frankie. So far, so good. Exide made the Kirkland batteries before Interstate got in there.

So, a couple months ago my neighbor was over and said "that vise looks heavy, I bet you wish it was on wheels". I said hell yes I do. Today while I was at the store, he brought this by for my vise. I put it away in the shop/shed the other day, and it's too dark.... and now I have family here. I'll go play around tomorrow.

I would like a couple more of those small batteries. They're small, light and last quite awhile. It also doesn't hit the ground so hard when a drop the thing lol. Think I'm going for it , if I can find it.

I had to have it shipped (free), but I did indeed order one. I agree 100% on the smaller batteries too. I only have two of those, and five of the 5AH. The new 700 ft lb impact came with a 4AH. But, I'll have four chargers now and a third 1.3AH battery.

I also think I'll have 4 DeWalt bags now... maybe 5.

White, I'm glad to hear your wife is doing better! That's great news!

I guy I know went all-out Milwaukee in his home wood-and-everything-else shop, and has most every tool you can think of with a bank of about a dozen chargers set up with batteries always at the ready. It's quite the setup. (What he has in his shop is probably worth as much as my house.)
