My Optima Battery Failures

[priobe]

Hi All,

I`ll be honest, I did not read all 4 pages so if I am repeating what others wrote I am sorry.

For what it is worth, here it is.

These cars unless you have a/c and other accessories do not draw alot of power from the batter. Your basically using the battery to start the car and thats it.

I have had my Optima red for amost 7 yrs with no problem.

I have a master cut off, battery tender and thats it.

I have not load tested my battery but it starts the motor everytime. The way I see it, as long as it has enough juice to start I'm good.

I think these batteries are pretty good but what we use them for.

I would throw a battery tender on it like the others have mentioned and forget about it.

If you have electrical problems the master cutoff would solve that problem. But I would still try to resolve you electrical issue if one exist.

Hope this helps
