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.

I have 5 "dead" red tops that will not hold a charge sitting down at the shop right now. None of them are more than 2 years old. I did replace them with the same thing (cant remember if I got them at Costco). I did so becasue of the mods made to the hold downs and didn't want to go back and re-engineer everything again. I now use battery tenders on them all and they have been fine.
I was under the impression that the great thing about Optimas was that they could drain to nothing, but always be recharged. This sure has not been my experience. The 49.00 autozone cheapo that I threw in the 914 in 1999 still works great... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
