Re: Battery Talk... (Optima vs. Others)
Optima is a great battery. I just bought a new battery and turned in my old optima (dead Cell) had it for 5 years. But when they parts guy said the same battery would run me 199 dollars i opted for the napa battery that had the same cca. I could also buy 3.5 new napa batteries for the price of one optima. Just spray some terminal protector on it and away you.

Re: Battery Talk... (Optima vs. Others)
I have a red top Optima battery in my '78 Chevy pickup. It was installed in 1993 and still going strong, zero problems. If you can afford it I highly recommend it. Diehard would be my second choice.
