Hi all, I just received a Red Optima and the thing is radically heavy, is that the way they are or did I get the one for aircraft carriers? It's funny cause I've heard the battery location is to offset the driver... this one definitely will.

No mystery why the Optima is not as good. Now manufactured in Mexico with cost cut materials. The Odyssey battery is now the hot ticket and lightweight versions are available.
