People, take note of the way this person talks/types. Is this really someone you can take advice from regarding battery performance? They are obviously an ### and I wouldn't be surprised if they hooked up the battery wrong, shorting it out and reducing its lifespan.

My son has had 2 or 3 of these in his car and I agree they do not perform. The audio place that installed it said it was better than a traditional battery, NOT TRUE! I agree the Sears diehard is a much more reliable and longer lasting battery, I have had several of them over the years.

Optima had experienced problems in the past with locally made product but with new production in a world class facility in Mexico the high quality has returned. We have moved all our fleet purchases of batteries to Optima and are experiencing excellent results. Thanks to Optima and Johnson Controls for their investment.
