Though I purchased my Optima Red Top in 1997 it lasted 14 years. I kept a small battery tender on it during the Winter and when it was parked. I used the side terminals to hook to and the posts for the tender as that way I didn't have to take the tie down loos and move it out, since it was located in the trunk. I have read a lot of negative posts abut them since they moved to Mexico and I hope they get better as I like the idea of a solid core battery with no acid to spill in case of something happening. Do any of you have a breakdown of the numbers that tells when and where it was manufactured? I get them locally or did until NAPA bought the store. I think they still carry them but haven't been to that store for a long time.
Thanks,
