[Tigers] My Optima Battery

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Tony,
The battery that came with my 03 Harley was still  going after 6 yrs when I 
sold it the bike.  I never had a bike battery that  went longer than 3 
yrs.....most went 2.  The newer was a gel battery.   Maybe that's what was the 
difference.  Funny, but the  warranty was the same as the old wet 
acid.....one  year.

John-  Sounds as tho you may have gotten 20 years if you had seen that  
article.
Its hard to imagine any item being made these days lasting beyond  the
warranty- for a fact, most thing go south as soon as the warranty  
expires.That
is one good thing about Sears, you can keep renewing your  warranty and they
continue to honor it. I had a lawn mowing business I  started for my son 
when
he was ten, now there are a ton of zero turn mowers  on trailers. When he 
was
16 I had to beg him to get him to mow, so I would  mow, some years I would 
sub
the yards out but while waiting for my  disability it kept food on the table
and the electric bill paid. A few  years back my grandson came to live with 
me.
he is biracial, so he had a  chip on his shoulder and was pretty lazy, 
until I
paid him, man did the  cash ever motivate him, he had no idea how much 
money he
was making BUT I  got burned out and retired the grasshopper. If my son 
would
have followed  the "old mans" advice he
would have a 150k business and wouldn't have to do  anything but make sure 
the
yards where up to the standards I set as my  business cards'Guranteed 
Services"
said if you weren't happy, it was free,  so I had to go back and inspect the
weed eating to make sure whom ever was  working for me did what I told them-
like every piece of grass that was  suppose to  get weed eat-ed- DID.
NOW, I need an Optima that fits my  Harley and my Tiger and IF I can get 8
years, I will be elated. I don't  know how you manged to get 15 but they
should pay you to star in a  commercial.Cheers,
TonytheTiger

Just replaced the Optima red top battery in my Tiger after  16  years.
Now an article in the latest Hot Rod shows how to get it to  charge  again.


Can someone tell us what the Hot Rod  article  said?
