Default Re: New Battery for '40 V8

I would stay away from Optima. Apparently they quality isn't the same as in years past. I have had bad luck with them. I bought two for around $150 each two years ago and one didn't last a year. The voltage went to 0V and I had to jump it to charge and then it showed 12V but wouldn't start my car. Amazon replaced it but I had to argue with them. In the mean time they had raised the price from $150 to $275! They offer only a 1 year warranty only. If you don't use a trickle charger and let the battery go to 0 volts by letting it sit for 6 months you can't revive it. They used to advertise 3 year warranty and then try to sell you a 2 or 3 year extended warranty. I see they don't advertise the warranty any more.
