My current project is to the point of needing a battery. Me and my customer are fans of Optima, but neither one of us has gotten one in years.
What do you have and how do you like it? We want to go with a sealed gel or AGM. It’s going in the stock location. $700 Anti Gravity is not going to happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for your input! |

Optima no longer makes a group 42 size. What size are y’all getting? Odyssey is out of stock

Doesn’t have to be an Optima, but everyone with a car worth keeping should be running an AGM at least.
My 914 has a red top Optima and my 996 has a Bosch AGM. |

I have an Optima red top in every car I own, with one exception. And all of the Optima batteries are the same size and model. So I can interchange them as needed between cars.
Our GMC SUV has a stock battery. But I just inherited it and have not had to change the battery. It will get an Optima when the time comes. Clay |

I run a plain old Interstate. When the car sits in the garage I leave the engine lid open.
