Ok, so 2 weeks ago at Biketoberfest in Daytona, I left all my leds on for about 5 hours while we were bar hopping. Leds do not draw that much power, but when you have 2 strips of interior lights, 2 strips under the hood, 6 halos, and a full RGB underbody kit, when they are all added up it is a lot of draw on the battery. Needless to say when I got back to the parking lot, the battery was dead. Richard from @UNIFIED PERFORMANCE was with me and said he would go get jumper cables. I told him we could ask around that someone was sure to have a set of cables. I was really amazed at how many people do not carry cables anymore. Long story short...got some cables, got her started and got home after 4am. The next day I installed an Optima Blue Top deep cycle marine battery.
While in Panama City last weekend the same thing happened to @lostnparadise... lights on, dead battery, jump start.
All my leds were on for about 6 or 7 hours and it cranked up with NO PROBLEM.
Just thought I would share this with those of you who have added lights, amps, or just want to get rid of the stock battery.
Optima D8016-103

Average price for this battery is $250.00

THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON A 2015. THE NEWER SLINGSHOTS HAVE SMALLER BATTERIES IN THEM.
