    Optima battery's in D3 anyone used,

    I need a new starter and second battery for the disco, 06.
    Any one using optima? What models fit best for starter and second deep cycle?
    Thanks

    In my D4 I have an Optima D34 as the second battery and replaced the factory crank batter in October with a Century DIN85LC. I assume they'd fit in the D3 too.

    In the D3 I ran a Supercharge D48 for 4 years with no dramas.

    Both cars fitted with the Traxide system.

    +1 for the Optima D34 as a second battery. They just work and seem to last forever.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Have a look at the Optima site, lots of info & choices.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Ditto to the second battery.

    My cranking battery is an Amaron Pro which was well priced and highly recommended by my battery guy (it's indian, he said strong battery) - well priced, has been working well for 3 years.

    If the battery model has a "D" prefix, i.e. D34 it is a dual use i.e. Start and deep cycle capable battery. If it has a M suffix it is a marine version etc

    Can anyone confirm if the amaron pro 90 is a direct fit
    with the factory battery clamp. Sorry for all the questions. I live very
    remote in WA and need to make sure I order
    the correct battery first time.
    Thanks
