Same here Dave. I have used them in the past and gave up with them as every season I was returning them. Now I just grab a x-mart brand.

Hi All, I know a lot of us use Optima batteries in our cars, but I'm on my third one in two years. The guy at the parts counter at Advance told me he gets a lot of them back that are only a year to a year and a half old. Have others experienced the same issues with these batteries?
