My uncle worked in the Goodyear plant in Akron, OH and used to get neat
jars of sodium chips. That stuff is more fun! Throw a chunk in the
snow, it leaves a crater. Just don't drop the jar or let snow fall in
it :) The oil they suspend it in starts to boil!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but at what rate does the alternator
charge the battery? Is it OK if you kill the Optima to get a jump and
drive it around for awhile to fix it, or is that charge too quick? Do
you need one of those chargers you keep in the garage in this case?
Thanks,

Matt, an Optima battery is a conventional lead-acid battery that
responds well to jumpstarting and normal charging methods just like any
other conventional battery does. :)

Oh, good..I was worried there that some weird science was going to mess
up my cool battery :)
