another hater, another that adds nothing of relevance to any thread in this forum and his 312 posts over 8 years further says it all.

Meanwhile, the truth and the facts are that the OP doesn't need a 2nd battery, was told that by several, was told to install a 16v battery rather than a 2nd 12v BUT had already decided that he was installing a 2nd 12v battery before asking here, because he has a cranking issue. He started this shyt show as he and others often do and then cry victim while stirring the pot when there are no victims posting here only willing participants.

I also lose 1/2 volt through my battery switch....normal or F no?

I run one 16V battery, no alt, Fast EFI W/data, Race Pak and with the Olds engine, i drove to and from the the lanes. You`re making excuses not to buy one. You`ll spend $$$ on two 12V battery`s but you wont buy one 16V. I get it, you`re from California. Makes seance.

So they too need mental help, they too wreck every thread and they too act like an 8 year old according to you!

Now what part of these FACTS and the TRUTH don't you like?

Beard fuk'd it up when he anointed Ed with the best appearing award.

Ed didn't even thank the people who built the car! What a nut!

Wrong and more hate from another that adds nothing of relevance to any thread that I am engaged in.

Again…

the truth and the facts are that the OP doesn't need a 2nd battery, was told that by several, was told to install a 16v battery rather than a 2nd 12v BUT had already decided that he was installing a 2nd 12v battery before asking here, because he has a cranking issue.

So do they too need mental help, do they too wreck every thread and do they too act like an 8 year old? Of course not. the haters, the clueless, the nobodies, just hate my every post because I have nice stuff, because my cars flat out work and their performance outstanding, because we win which these losers can’t stand! Laughing very hard

More wins and more spot on tech replies coming! NahNahTounge

Now what part of these FACTS and the TRUTH don't you like?

I never said he needs 2 batteries and of the people you quoted didn't attack him or anyone that agreed with him. Why anyone starts a new thread on this forum is beyond me,almost every one of them get attacked by your onslaught of ignorance.

Wrong and again you contribute nothing of relevance to this thread nor forum but hate attacking me and my replies! It's beyond me why you even bother posting here. Meanwhile, an hour ago, a longtime poster here who has contributed for over 2 decades to this forum, thanked me for replying to his latest thread. Spitting

I would MUCH rather that I had never gave that scrotum an opening to preform his clown act.....My bad...What really pisses me off is I never would have put a different brand battery in next to the Optima to begin with...After getting to race after a year or two I think I was just excited to have something race related to post up...

J.R. who stated he can’t? Answer… no none! Further it’s ridiculous to even imply it. He started this thread asking opinions about a decision he already made and when he got opinions based on FACT and experience that were contrary to his decision, he took his ball and left!

So why start the thread? Answer..he’s a bored, lonely old douche that wanted to start another shyt show here.

No one cares what he does with his car, that he rarely races, least of which me!

Actually the question was whether or not it was a must to use the same brand.

And he divulged why he was asking and why he was putting a 2nd 12v battery in the car and that is because he had cranking issues.

Dave,

You are in the driver's seat competing & #1 LOSER B1TCH (ED) is not! Wink His hate & jealousy consumes his life, because he's scared to get in the compete seat. His fragile mind can't handle going back to being a 1st round loser, for years on end.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
