There is a similar thread going on the Jeep Forum (OptimaJim is over there as well). There are alot of people over their having similar problems with Optima. I went away from Optima a while ago because of failures with batteries after only a couple years of service. I have had good luck with Odyssey AGM's, and the Sears Platinum series is made by Odyseey and I have heard good things about them. The Sears warranty is supposed to be alot better than Optima as well. OptimaJim seems like a busy guy...
