Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Gonna give Optima another shot. Want a Gel cel for my battery relocation I am going to do this winter.. I didn't have any luck with the yellow top, just buying a red top this time. Wish me luck! plus i get 20% off....
Oh, sorry. I didn't even put the timeframe in. That standard duralast has been going since 2005 without any issues. I just wish it wasn't red. When I pop the hood to check the fluids it looks like Christmas. Hell, the factory Motorcraft only lasted just about 3 years.

I was just reading reviews. I'll be getting another Duralast.. No way am I getting another yellowtop.. OPTIMA RedTop™ batteries are designed for short term high current applications such as starting engines, and short high amp uses of a winch motor. They do not like to be "deep cycled" (like ALL automotive starter batteries) however the Red Top battery with its SpiralCell Lead Plate Technology, will suffer much less from the occasional deep discharge such as leaving your lights on or winching until the battery dies. Because of the fact that SpiralCell technology can store more energy for a given sized battery these types of battery are ideal for use in offroad vehicles where reduced weight is important because a much larger "conventional" battery would need to be used in place of an OPTIMA to give the same starting current capability.
They are not specifically designed as "deep-cycle" batteries, for constant deep discharge/recharge cycles you will need to look at the YellowTop Optima batteries.
This sounds like my yellow top.. Worst Battery EVER!
I purchased this battery for my G35 coupe. I have used it for 2 months to replace the OEM battery. OEM battery lasted 4 years, but opitma Red Top is having trouble turning on after only 2 months. The cells cannot hold a charge and the battery sounds weak when I lock the car doors. WORST EVER! Do not recommend!
My grand prix has the original AC Delco and its still running strong, at 7 or 8 years old. Camaro has a an Interstate I think.
Anything but an optima
Are you totally stoaked to get your car back?
I'm getting there.. Leaving for Missouri next Thursday, hoping I get it back when I get back the following week.. We'll see. Going down there today to see if anything else has been done over the last couple days..

Original Red Tops are a very nice battery...don't know what's happened to their quality....sucks.
FWIW...deep cycle batteries should not be used in a standard car application. Deep cycle bateries are designed to be fully charged then run extremely low before they are recharged...like in drag cars without an alternator or fishing boats
