Podcasts about optima batteries

Holman catches up with two longtime friends, off-roader and journalist Sue Mead and Optima's Cam Douglass, to discuss all things batteries. Listen in on a wide-ranging discussion that includes the start of Optima Batteries, to the latest 12-volt battery tech, new products, events, EVs, and what comes next in our industry. The Truck Show Podcast is proudly presented by Nissan in association with AMSOIL, Kershaw Knives, and OVR Mag.

Tim DeCesaro joins the podcast to share his journey in the automotive world which was one well traveled. He shares stories from his time at Optima Batteries and some deals he has been a part of as a result. He also shares some of the motorsport and automotive events he has been able to attend over the years as well.

Love them or hate them, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are here, so why not hammer the s%&t out of them on a race track just like we've been doing the old internal combustion engine (ICE) for years and years!Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inBattery degradation & performance, $600 'Bonus Module' for 2 seconds a lap improvement, trackside sharing and more with Jordan Priestley of ReVolting Performance as he runs us through this 2021 Model 3 Performance Tesla while competing at the Optima Batteries street car challenge.The car runs a number of Unplugged Performance suspension components and 4 point roll bar with JRi double adjustable shocks,  AP Racing brake package & square (same size front to rear) 19x11 Forgeline wheels wrapped in 305/30R19 Falkens.Interestingly the battery level does operate within certain 'sweet spots' in relation to charge, with Jordan noting a 40mph loss of speed climbing up the hill at Laguna Seca at lesser charges. He also touches on his trackside generator charging setup, a common question from those interested in how EV guys manage battery charge during track/race days.There is a long way to go with EVs to get them anywhere close to being the same when it comes to how a race weekend looks compared to someone just tipping E85 or similar in the tank, but racing is racing, and it's great to see some earlier adopters keen for some new challenges.

Tanner Foust joins us to to discuss training Keanu Reeves for "John Wick," flying airplanes, racing with McLaren in Extreme E, and his new partnership with Optima Batteries. Thanks for supporting our sponsors: DrinkBravago.com

Is this BMW E36 build the most radical Hill Climb monster in the world?Bimmerworld's ‘Bergsteiger' was built for Pikes Peak, and at The SEMA Show's Optima Batteries booth, chassis guru Wayne runs us through some of the thought that goes into a dedicated Hill Climb build. After selecting the Roush-built 1150HP Weistec Garrett GTX3076 turbocharged V8 P63 engine (the S63's motorsport variant) and doubling the output from a GT3 BMW M6 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship build it was quickly apparent that a tube frame chassis would be required to the accommodate the size of the engine.Some insight into the aero setup is shared, including the requirement for 2000lbs front downforce to match the rears 1800lbs at 150mph along with some of the layout decisions and placements required to get that car to a weight of 1100kgs (2400lbs) with a 50:50 weight distribution. A carbon fiber widebody and lightweight Forgeline GS1R rims wrapped with Continental tires also help keep that weight down. A Bosch Motorsport ECU is used along with a MoTeC dash display for logging and driver data on the electronics side of things, the suspension is looked after by Motion Control Suspension and Bimmerworld components along with PFC brakes to handle the demands of high altitude racing.Want to learn how to EFI tune?

While playing basketball, Jim would do freelance work for magazines where he would meet people and attend events across the country. After Jim left the NBA, he eventually joined Optima Batteries as their “E-care Manager” where he created the Facebook page and began answering questions or comments on web forums (You may be familiar with his forum handle OptimaJim on almost every forum in existence). Today, you will see him at many automotive events taking pictures, streaming videos, and answering questions from customers about Optima’s products.
