We have an optima at work that a guy traded in 5 years ago because it wasnt "correct" for his vette. Anyway its 6 years old and we use it for jump starting vehicles. We jump rigs till its dead then recharge. Its still working great. We've almost chewed the posts off the top with the jumper cables. I've personally seen this battery put out over 1100 amps to a bad starter. The only thing bad thats happened..tried to jump a rig and burnt one of the side posts out. Exide now makes a similar battery called orbital. I have one of these in my truck because its slightly cheaper.
