[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064701985, member: 2429"] I do that for all my batteries that are in the engine bay. Wrap in superlon and reflective material. Keeps the battery relatively cooler and seems to last longer. The plastic cover alone isn't enough. Wanna wrap go extreme! Hehehe. Superlon + alu tape. Ultramax u need to be careful. This range of Century is infamous for dying exactly after warranty. They don't seem to last very long. Once you reach the 1 year marker - keep a watch out for this battery. Last time it just stopped working for me, no warning, no tell-tale signs, nothing. Apparently it's a thing for this battery. I've only ever used Bosch S5 once - don't remember if it's any good. GP is good yeah. But hard to source, I haven't seen anyone hold that brand for a while now. Incidentally, the Panasonic that I just changed out was a Feb 2015 battery. So not too bad for 2 years of usage and gradually dying off rather than instant death. So far out of my 4 current cars (5 including the one I just sold) 3 running Amarons and 2 Panasonics. The Panasonics are all close to 3 years now and the Amarons are sub 1 year so can't give much feedback. All the entry level Amarons, not the high amp one. [/QUOTE]
