Optimas suck IMO. I've got one that went dead in the Nissan and refuses to take a charge. It's also not even a year old yet.

yeah i got two of those in my garage. pretty expensive paper weight. mine will take a charge but they will lose it by the next day. mine were brand new and did that.

the ones who are bitching. are you sure you got starter/deep cells? Before you go bitching, maybe you should of checked to make sure you got the right battery to buy. Just a deep cell will go bad over a short time b/c its not made to start.

I have several friends who run their comps, 3k plus wattage of amps without their truck started on red top optima's for 3-4 and i think one guy had his for 5 years now, its been in 2 different trucks... still kicking!

not really bitching...just stating my experience. Never bitched to anybody about the batteries, just bought a new one and moved on. Shit happens and things break...even good products.

there are a shitload of people who uses the optimas with great results. They may or may not be the best choice in batteries, but obviously a good choice.

ummmmm WHAT opps i just went and bought a optima yellow top deep cycle with 750 cold cranking amps. its in and works great so far but we will see in the morning thanks for the sugestions

why would your battery be dead in the morning is what I was asking....sounds like you have another problem to deal with besides a battery
