Message	Its flawless...I posted about this before, most people who rag on Optima batteries don't own them, and never have. Its just some propaganda they bought into and went with it, telling everyone else what crap they are. As with any products, there are defective ones and that does suck. But no one that I know using Optima batteries has had any issues with them. Mine was in the Z when I bought it, it has set through several winters now never being charged... and each spring it starts the Z first try. People need to listen to others that have experience with the product, not just someone bad mouthing them.
