I have killed all too many optimas. But it's because I'll drain them too far. But I have treated other brands the same way and guess what, they can be recovered.
Having said that, You make it seem that anyone who buys an Optima needs a PhD to keep it in shape.
If these batteries need so much time and effort to keep them alive and other batteries do not, the problem is not with the consumer who just want something that will last a reasonable amount of time. If I can buy an east penn battery and forget about it or buy an Optima and wonder when it's going to take a $hit, the choice is a no brainer.
