I installed an Optima in "Dad's Mistress"(73 original 1.7L)last summer, and now it won't hold enough charge to start when it sits for more than a week. I reinstalled the old battery and it works like a champ when it sits for 4 weeks, so it must be the battery. I don't have any way to load test the Optima, so back to the dealer after I look for the warrantee. Any advice?

I had a Optima battery (red top) go bad after about 6 months and returned it for a new one. I don't think they are the "latest greatest technology". They Fu__ up just as much as a Sear's Die Hard.
