<html><body><div>I have an Optima in my Triumph, Kubota tractor, and a 6 volt Optima in my 63 Porsche 356, so yeah I like them. Big plus with an AGM is no battery acid that can leak and eat through the battery box. I wish I could remember who told, but it was a reliable source, that Optima isn't as good as it used to be, and mentioned another brand. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it was the Interstate AGM battery that was recommended. I've got that brand in other cars along with my camper/trailer, so I'm a big fan of that brand too.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>FYI - I did find that the red top Optima is a little bit smaller than a standard battery, so I had cut a few strips of wood to add behind the battery and on each side so I could fully snug the battery down in the box.</div><div><br></div><div class="x-apple-signature">Rye<br>PH: 530-FIND-RYE</div><div><br>On May 5, 2019 at 1:36 PM, David Friedlander <forzion7@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;" data-mce-style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;">Hey List ~<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;" data-mce-style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;" data-mce-style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;">Anyone have anything they can tell me about Optima batteries? </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;" data-mce-style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;">They appear to be highly rated (and fairly expensive) .
