Default Re: Optima battery

I think I read somewhere, (maybe here) that the optimas for sale today do not measure up to the ones sold two decades ago that are still going strong. Any truth to this? I have still never owned one, but I have more old fords now than in the past and unfortunately they seem to get driven less. I have heard that the optimas shine in that department.
