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) |

Why anyone would still use an old school lead acid design under an engine grill that lets moisture on the battery these days is beyond me. I run Odyssey PC 680. Go sealed and never look back.

Go sealed and never look back. I just looked at the PC 680. It doesn't appear to have conventional posts. How have you attached the cables ? |

You can buy conventional posts to add to the battery. Amazon has them for around $20 |
