Default Optima Batteries

Anyone using Exide orbital batterries?

I have a pair I purchased and they are working great.

Noticed recently that the Sears Automotive guys are retailing Optimas.
Prices appear much better than West Marine BOAT/US prices.

Assume these are the real McCoy.

Comments?



Optima Red-Tops are great starting batteries, but their Blue-Top deep

cycles
leave quite a bit to be desired. Only about 50 amp hours of capacity. I
use the Optima Red-Tops as starting batteries in my diesel pickup, but use
Lifeline deep cycle AGM's in my boat. The Lifeline group 27's have 100

amp
hours of capacity. AGM technology is the only way to go, in my opinion.
