For the most part anyone who has an old battery that is still working, my Cuda's is from 05 and was Autozone's cheapest group 24, is probably not much help because batteries today are most likely not made the same and not made by the same factory (think overseas).

Kinda like asking what paint is best and me telling you the original paint on my Cuda is pristine. Good luck getting that formulation today.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
