I haver found that some Optimas are somewhat like Disco's...Its hit or miss, I have had 5-6 of them and 2 I had to replace in a matter of months and still under warr. But the others I have had have never missed a beat, I have one from 93 that just died on me, Not that it was used daily but it was a great batt. I have had a few yellow and a blue top as well all been great! Good luck Brian   Keith Kreutzer (Revor) Member Username: Revor Post Number: 218 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, August 08, 2003 - 06:45 pm:    Average 7 years for mine... Matter of fact all twelve have pretty much given up the ghost after 7 years... Of HARD use...
