Default OPTIMA BATTERY
To be honest with you -- the new Optima batteries are not up to par with the old ones. I would look into the Odeyssey (sp) or the Sears Platimum battery.

Good luck, Randy

Just go get something that you can take back when it goes bad, the newer yellow top optem battery's aren't worth the price.

I don't run Optimas anymore. They don't last, and if it ever gets drained once, the battery is no good anymore.
