Optimas are actually AGM battery's "Absorbed Glass Mat" Which Typically are 10 to 15x more vibration resistant than other battery's
I have Optimas now BUT only had them for two years, so I can not yet say they are the best. I will say that if everyone put a Good onboard charger (that is designed for the type battery you have) 90 percent of "battery" problems would go away. I know this for experience. |
What kind of Onboard charger you run on them Optimas?
|
Anyone found out who makes these big mama's? No info on web

That is correct and I learned the hard way as well!! I have interstate batts in my boat now but that's only cause they put em in when building it, next will be AGMs again |
Check the reserve capacity minutes on optima vs conventional battery only 60 to 75 percent capacity as big mamma only advantage spill proof and cost twice the price
|
Want'a say they're made near Shreveport. I'm only about 5500 miles from mine. If I were home, I would look and see if there'S any info.

I have a Bass Pro XPS I series charger , it has settings you can change for all type batteries .
AGM s do typically have less reserve and are more expensive, you are correct . But there are other advantages , like weight savings , which was important to me. Also extreme discharge will not hurt an AGM like it will a wet lead acid battery. |
