Northstar 27F is a Beast!

Ok...


Care to elaborate as to what makes it a "beast"

68lbs of 99.997% pure lead makes it one heavy puppy.

 

thank you for a link to almost a 3 year old article. I was calling out OP to see why they thought this battery was such a "beast"

Did they see improvement in lights not dimming from heavy draw etc. Aside from 2 pictures of look at my battery, there's really no value added to a post

 

who cares if its a 3 year article.

The specs are the same accross all the batteries shown.

 

it could be a 200 year old article. if the specs are the same accross the three batteries, then its still as good as an article done yesterday

 

930 Cold Cranking Amps, more than your stock battery.

 

Battery really weighs 68#?

 

those northstars are heavy

 

Does is come with a CB shim??

 

You are missing my point. As someone that visit a forum such as this one, I’d like to understand why something is a better purchase than others by reading posts from other members about tried and true. I am not trying to start an internet pissing match on who has a bigger “battery, however when I see a post labeled that this battery is a “beast” with 2 photos attached, it give me no info as to why OP finds it to be a beast compared to my 6 year old Toyota battery that’s still starting my truck. A link to an article, even 3 years old, is still better than zero info other than 2 photos, which I’d consider a shit post.

And aside from a 3 year old article, or 930 CCA...what’s so amazing about a battery that costs twice as much as a factory one that has lasted 6 years is all that I’m trying to understand while calling out OP for having zero info behind their post

 

It's gray and has a star on it.

 

That's it, I'm sold.

 

I guess it is my post and I can write what I feel like writing. If you feel that I didn't inform you with all the specs, feel free to look them up yourself.

 

Btw, you sound russian.

 

I mean, I saw this post as you proud of a new battery...not necessarily discussing the pros of it.

 

I bought the slightly cheaper version:

 

The pics show the specs which are considerably better than stock specs. He also explained the significance of the pure lead used. Obviously you feel the shitty stock battery is sufficient... no need to knock this guy for posting about his upgrade.

Texas here.
Yes they do live longer, if they're old the first little cold snap would kill it.

It's going to be 32 on Thursday. I expect a dead batterie

 

I'd say 200 years is the max though. If it was 201... Well, that's pushing it

 

I thought the heat was way harder on the batteries than cold?

@Outbound is in Canada. Doesn't your 06 still have the original Toyota battery?

 

Texas would shut down

 

As far as I can tell, I do still have the original battery. Corroded and ugly as hell but my remote start still works down to -45 celsius

 

Yep, it's heavy. At my age, and the Tundra's height, I had to do an overhead press with hands together just to get it onto the radiator support. Then, getting it into the hole without throwing my back out was a challenge.
