I've had two Optima's die this winter. Granted, they were both about 8 years old.
I priced a new one - ouch. That should come with lube. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Rumors are that the newer Optimas aren't what the old ones were. What are the cool kids running these days? |

My brother manages a high end customs shop. He will no longer sell red tops to his customers. They have had the plates break loose on new batteries. Yellow or blue was fine. I have an orbital battery that has been perfect.
