The last battery I bought was an Optima...... that was about 7 years ago. What do you all think of the Optima..... and is there anything better?
Pros and Cons? New technology? Better value? I recall the Optima was much more expensive than other batteries. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I put a replacement Optima red top in my 76 car and had to cut the tab shown. Any saw will do. Then it fit just like the last one did. I went to the battery distributor yesterday to get a replacement for the battery for my Carrera that took a dump in 8 mounts (not a Optima but Exide) and told them that there where complaints on the last version of the Optima battery. He told me they moved the MFG to Monetary Mexico and they had bad quality control for a while. He said something on humidly and problems but said now the batteries where now tip top.
