Re: [DML] Optima Batteries?

["gullwingmag" <gullwing-magazine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Red Top Optima in the Yellow D that is going on 3 years.  The 
car does get driven several times a week however.  Recently, during a 5 
month engine swap project the battery did get abused pretty much but 
made it through the down time and excessive cranking of a new engine.  
Now that the car is back up and running the battery seems as good as 
ever.  Thumbs up on the Red Top I got.
