Re: Killing Optimas
How long did you have the battery stored without it being charged?

Re: Killing Optimas
Somewhere I heard the "old" optimas were better than the new optimas because of the manufacturing process. I had to replace my optima after a week of having it.

Re: Killing Optimas
u could try the blue top, its a marine, and its ment to be charged and drained ...and i would guess its ment to hold its charge over long peroids( since boating can be seasonal)

Re: Killing Optimas
blue's are good for storage, not to say the autozone guy isn't a man of vast knowledge on batteries, but going from what so many boat owners are telling me. i'ld go with a blue top if you plan on storing it.
