battery replacement

[Rene S. Nielsen]

I think I'm going to move to the US. 133$ for a optima battery ??

I just got a quote for 2 Optima Blue top 5.000,- DK that's about 860 US$.

Damn to freight cost is so high on just 2 batteries.

Yes but you have free medical insurance,you should see what I pay a month for it. and don't tell me that your tax rate is higer ,because we have the Obamination and his crew in power now and they will tax our nuts off in the next 4 years and leave my grand children to pay the tab . you don't know how good you have it .

Hi IRA51

Well we do have free Medical insurance. If you need an operation you just get in line and wait around 3 to 24 month (hope it isn't serious).
Otherwise you buy a private medical insurance and get the operation within 3 days.

About tax I don't know how that works in the US, but here we have a kind of step up tax. So for the first 1000$ a month you don't pay tax for the next up to arund 4000$ you pay 43% in tax and after that you pay 65%.

Gas prices are 5.19 us $ a Gallon around 9 kr. a liter

A used H2 will cost you around 95000 US $ if you remove the rear seats (stupid Danish regulation) and around 208000 Us$ If you don't remove the seats.

Of couse the salery might be higher to compensate for this so all in all it must be almost the same.

But it will take 2 years to get a handgun license in Denmark

PS. The freight priceses are still to high

PPS. here is a Danish site selling Hummers (mostely H3) price around 100.000 US$ - http://www.bilbasen.dk/Cars/UsedCars/ResultView.aspx?Seller=1&CategoryId=P&Category=P&M ake=Hummer&YearFrom=1975&YearTo=2010&PriceFrom=0&P riceTo=9999999&Distance=0&ZipCode=4040

How and where do you mount the second battery? Any pics and what would be the advantages? Is it hard to do?

[dvl57]

when you're replacing the battery, is there anything you need to know in regards to having the stereo or nav "lock out"?

in my previous vehicle (Land Rover), when you replace the battery, you get your head unit locked out...you need to enter in a PIN #.


I'm wondering because....in my 08 H2, the battery meter on the dash fluctuates ...in the morning when it starts up...it's strong...during the day (after driving it), the meter is lower....(not to the point where it's extremely low), lower than in the morning.


I was wondering what other owners' thoughts were in regards to this.

thanks.


will a blue optima top fit w/o any modification?

I had terrific success w/ the blue optima D31M on my Land Rover..
In addition, I heard some failures from others in regards to the Optima Yellow tops.


Cheers.
