Larry,
How old was that AGM? The Optima line has pretty good full replacement
warranties.

Just under 3 years. 2 year replacement warranty. I got $35 towards a new
one which cost me $90 "in the end", so to speak. No appreciable current
between new one and the other old one that I recharged. Mother and baby
seem OK, now.

Optima isn't perfect....by a long shot. The other battery has an open
circuit between the + post and side terminal. Must be cracked. I just
changed the truck's connection to the post.

(What I wanted to do was replace them both with two 6V 1200CCA in series to
get rid of the paralleling batteries, which I hate. But, the replacement
cost would have been prohibitive. This was cheaper..)
