I've had an Optima for seven years now. But, for the past four or five years now, I've had to have my starter rebuilt. This last rebuild, I was asked if I was using an Optima battery. I asked why and he told me that he's been seeing a lot of starters with the insides melted like mine caused by too low a voltage by Optimas. I'm not sure why he has singled out Optimas, but he told me it has been a trend. I went to Sears and bought a Die Hard Platitum GSM. Fits into my old billit aluminum Optima holder and has more than a hundred more cca's.
