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!

I just bought a Duracell Platinum AGM battery, had a few better reviews over Optimas which I've had fail in the past.
