I went with a plain ol' Interstate battery and they've been in there for three years. There is nothing wrong with the charging system or excessive draws, and the truck was driven 5 times a week minimum. I was not highly impressed with those results.
I love the support that Optima gives to our community and commend them for it. I hope they have great success selling their batteries. Unfortunately, the only good thing I've found about them is they tend to die within the 24 month warranty period.

What specifically went wrong? How do you know they're bad?
I spent too long selling to the public, and 98% + of people have no idea what they're doing. I would also venture to say that 75% + of techs dont know what theyre doing either. Its funny having a "master tech" not know what RMS is....
