Ok, I got Optima battery's in the cars but am wondering if the charger is really worth the cash? I've always been able to trickle charge the battery's with a "normal" charger without any issues, but never a fast or jump charge. Well, my dinosaur charger took a crap and I need to buy another one. There are different brands out there and seem to do the same thing, but I don't know. Are you buying the name or a different product totally? I got a buddy that has this one and likes it: http://www.granitedigital.com/aiodc-2.aspx
But Optima is constantly "helping" us out..... Which I want to support also.

I was recently told that the OPTIMA battery chargers are capable of recharging the Optima battery when it drops to as little as 9 volts. The other battery chargers won't even recognize a battery when it's that low. So that MIGHT be something to consider.
I have several Ctek chargers and they have a button to change for charging the AGM batteries like Optima. Charging an AGM battery with a "normal" lead acid battery charger is just all wrong... they use completely different charging voltages.
