    I have had nothing but bad luck with optimas. all my buddies have too. they IMO a not worth the money. Returned 3 sets before switching to Northern Marine and been happy since.

    i put a red optima in my car two years ago. now it won’t hold a charge. took it back to the parts house i bought it from only to find out it’s three months out of warranty. that was a waste of $150.00 no more optimas for me!

    I went to a electronics seminar last weekend. The guy giving the class sells batterys and sets up new boats. He said Optima Batterys are a waste of money, it is better to buy a regular trolling battery.

    I just had to replace both my trolling motor batteries this spring too. I had the Fleet Farm batteries. One was totally fried last fall. It wouldn’t even take a charge. This spring would have been 4 years for them. Why does it seem like I just replaced them last year?
