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? |

I'll let you know how mine does.. Got a 6 month old batt in the Audi, holds a charge great. I have a 4 year old batt in the 914, Also holding a charge great.
6 month old is a yellow, 4 year old is a red. Planning on switching after the Audi goes back to DD status. |
