To all of you having trouble with Optima batteries, I have used them exclusivly during my last 10 years of car collecting and have them in seven cars. I have only one original that I bought in 2004 and it is in ERA #238 and still no problems, "I guess it just loves the cobra". I had an older one that gave up on life two years ago, and both of these were made in America. The other five cars all have a made in Mexico sticker on the battery and have been replaced so many times I think at this point the five have had battery replacement about three times apiece. Thats what NAFTA did for us.
