I have worked in industrial automation for many years in CO. I worked to bring multiple Optima plants online. The technology in optima battery's was developed by Gates and spun off to many different brands. I worked with the building of the first large scale plant in Denver and watched as that facility was moved to Mexico (Management decision) . There is no doubt that there were quality issues bring the big new plant online in Denver and the subsequent move of that plant equipment to Mexico. That said the last move was over 10 year ago. I have Optima battery's in almost all my cars (8 total) except one. I have had to replace one prematurely, most of the other have lasted 10+ years. There are may other options today for AGM in addition to Optima. For our cars with designed in Rust creation points a non leaking AGM battery is a must.
