RE: Optima batteries A search of the archives will yield a number of reports of early failure of Optima batteries and many opinions that they are not worth the extra money, you can probably buy three group 41 (stock) batteries for the price of one Optima. The advantage of the Optima is in being able to mount them on their side since they are a sealed AGM battery. |
