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've been using optimas for about ten years. Unless I use the car every week they stay on a battery tender. They still go down over a long period. The interstate guy said to recharge them in parallel with a regular battery to get them to take a charge. I am going to use one in my restored 65 MF tractor. I also found a billet aluminum optima hold down bracket and now a ss one on ebay that is about 45.00 including freight.
I will probably use a odessy in the 914 though. I only use sealed batteries in my toys. Batteries can be replaced a lot easier than paint or metal. I am inclined to believe the mx stuff might have lower quality. |
