BS!!! The new optimas are junk... Crap.... Worthless... And POSs! Not to mention the service is equal to the battery. In a gasser.... Maybe. In my truck no way!

I went through two SETS in less then a year bought at AutoZone. The first set they replaced no questions asked. The second set they said I was SOL. They wouldn't even check my truck to see if it was putting out the right voltage... Just said no.

I contacted optima gave them all the information they needed and after 2 weeks of emails back and fourth because they take forever to respond they also told me I was SOL because "it has to be a problem with my truck".... My truck has NO electrical issues. The optimas are just junk and I had to eat the $$$.$$

After going through the BS I had to go through with both companies I ended up going with interstate mega trons.... Guess what.... I haven't had a single issue with them.

I have been buying my batteries at....... Academy sports. I'm buying 1000 CCA Exide batteries ( deep cycle marine) for less then $80.00 each. Got sick of buying parts store batteries for $140.00. Crank the hell out of a diesel too.
