Re: Optima life span?
Mine lasted nearly five years before I got nervous enough (because I'm in
the boondocks too often) to replace it with another.

Yeah, that's what I did, I was certain when it decided to go toes up I'd be
back in the woods 50 miles from the nearest anything. My neighbor appears to
have gotten a very good battery for free, however, and seems reluctant to
bring it up for fear I'd want rent or something.

Re: Optima life span?
I bought my CJ in 1998 with the Optima already in. I am still using the same
battery after 5.5 years.

Re: Optima life span?
Ive had an optima for 3 months. I have heard people complain about them, but
at 90 dollars at Costco. Why not.
