John,


1. Lasts Longer
2. Handles many, many more discharge cycles if you use 12 volt stuff
much
3. No out gassing. Although the battery box is vented .. I like the idea
of a battery that doesn't outgas since its in my living area.
4. Prettier :)
5. Gives you something to show off at campouts.

I guess the question I would like to ask those who use the Optima for a
single, starter battery is ... why?


Given the much higher cost, what are the advantages of using it over a
good lead acid battery?


Thanks for sharing.


John
