Batteries and FICM
So I know I need new batteries, they have been going for sometime. I have noticed it seems like the truck is cranking slowly, and starting a bit harder when it's cold. I'm aware of how to test the FICM, and intend to do so this weekend. My question is, if bad batteries can kill your FICM can a bad FICM in turn damage your batteries?
If so, I wait till I can get a 58v FICM in and just drive it as little as possible...
Also, looking for battery preferences from y'all. Curious what everyones preferences are!
Thanks!!!

Most guys just get the wal-mart batteries, they're not very expensive, they have a lifetime warranty, and when you're broke down in the middle of night, it's usually not too hard to find a 24 hr wal-mart. As much as I hate wal-mart....
You can also do optima's pretty cheap if you become a member of the NHRDA. When you sign up I think it's like $40 for the membership, which gets you a t-shirt, some stickers, a 1-year subscription to diesel power mag, and a SUPER discount on Optimas! I remember saying to myself if I needed batteries I was signing up and paying the $40 because even then it was still cheaper for the batteries.
