how do i save my optima yellow top?
the battery i got was an optima yellow top it had been sitting in a truck that didnt get turned on or moved for about a year. my truck starts up fine with any other battery but the optima won't start it'll jump start fine and when i let it run the battery wont hold a charge.. what can be a solution to this? i took it in to oreilly and the guy said the battery wasn't good anymore... and the damn warrenty wouldn't be good without a receipt..

I have an Optima Blue Top battery in my boat and this past spring i got it outta storage and it was dead..I followed the instructions from Optimas own video and after I did that is was fine..i continued to charge it for about 3 hrs. after it "woke up" at 10 amps and it worked fine all summer long..this winter i brought it inside and have a maintainer on it..yours should fine after you follow the video..I used the two battery parallel way because I have a regular charger.

Most of your AGM's are 3 year warranty because they are used in high draw situations.
If you left it sitting in a truck for a year what did you expect?
