G'Day again..I've got a red 720 CCA optima it's about three years old and it seems it never loses a charge..It's been sitting on the bench for that long and each time I go to charge it it doesn't need it. They were designed for US hotrodders who hibernate their cars over the snowy winters.
I read some where that the oddesy batteries have a tendencey to drop the plates off the posts. This happened to a mate of mine. He now has an optima.
