Bob, there are days when I would love to share that information. However, no battery manufacturer shares that data and even if we did, I don't think some folks would believe the numbers anyway, based on of their personal experiences. The number of good batteries returned under warranty is significant enough that Optima felt it warranted investing their resources in producing that YouTube video and having me share the information with the online community. The numbers are also high enough for other manufacturers, that some have now added language to their warranties that excludes batteries discharged below a specific voltage level. The numbers are also high enough that my truck and many other vehicles owned by Optima employees start every day on “dead” batteries people mistakenly returned under warranty.
