I got to agree with B&D as those Optima battery's are a great battery. Hard to ruin one. Here in Arizona, (because of the high summer heat) if we get 3yrs from a lead acid starting battery, were lucky and thats buying the good ones. My son bought a F100 with a 5yr old Opitma redtop. He drove the truck for 2yrs then let it sit at my place where the battery would go dead. I would jump start the battery every 4mths or so and drive the truck for a hour or so then park it where it once again sat discharged. This was for about a year then he sold the truck and the new owner wrecked the truck one year latter. So that's 9yrs on the Optima red top and the battery was still good. For my PSD starting battery's, when it's time, then I will use the Opitma yellow tops. On my golf cart or my RV, however it's not cost effective to use the Optima yellow top battery's. They cost about 100% more and have 29% less useable amp/hrs than the 6v Trojan T-105 lead acid battery's. Other brands of AGM's have comparable amp/hrs but at three times the cost. I don't think it will be too long before the AGM's drop in price or the lead acid's are forced out of existance. T_Bone
