Thank you Teowaki for all your added input on this matter. You provided all the extra data I wish I could have provided but didn't have the time, so your effort is much appreciated.
I feel like The wool is trying to be pulled over our eyes on these battery issues. O J seems to try and spin it on our wiring and alternators and never once acknowledged on this thread that maybe there is a defective battery in our hands. It's alot easier to displace the blame.
How can we trust optima when they don't even trust their product? Case in point being the warranty. A yellow top warranty is 12 months. I heard the warranty used to be much better but has now been changed to this. So Optima doesn't even believe in their product enough to provide a warranty to match the competition. The diehard platinum warranty is just ridiculous, 4 years! That's a real warranty. After 4 years of stellar service I would be happy to give the company more of my business.
Another example that comes to mind would be the car company Hyundai. Granted they were ugly a few years ago but they offered a 10 year warranty on power train, that's faith in their own product. How did that turn out for them? Look at the cars they produce today, that is The up and coming automotive powerhouse.
I really wish optima would stop spending so much money on trying to hush the complaints and put that money into research and development.
Do you think batteries are like wine as in the climate they are made in makes all the difference?
