I discovered Optima back in college. We were located near them and they donated about 15 redtops for our solar car project. I saw then that they could take discharging and recharging very well and were much safer than lead acid. After the punishment we put them through, I was convinced. Since college have been replacing all of the conventional lead acid batteries in my personal vehicles and our farm vehicles as needed. I now have 6 vehicles with Optimas starting with my pick up about 7 years ago. Have not had any problems at all and am very happy. I just bought one of the 6V models for my 1955 960 Ford tractor. I will run it for the first time this spring when mowing starts. I made a cool battery hold down for it and a custom hold down rod that once plated will look almost stock. If the battery doesn"t have enough power (I think it will) you can always add another 6V and they"ll both fit in the original battery tray. I like Optimas. I particularly like them in classic cars. They do not outgas like conventional batteries. Outgassing the corrosive gas will attach plated parts under the hood if conventional batteries are used. Optimas also elimninate corrosion of the battery terminals- a significant reason in itself to go Optima.
