optima batteries

[Kerry Seibert <ckchapel@fast.net>]

Listers -
I wonder if the added expense is really worth it?  I've gotten good service 
(6-8 years) with a simple off-the-shelf Sears Die-Hard. I think I've gone 
through 3-4 batteries in 25 years.  The ol' girl starts every time even (I'm 
ashamed to say) if she sits for months on end.
Of course maybe this is not a function of the battery,  maybe it's because it's 
a 4/4 .. . . . . . .
