Yeah.. They should be !! I paid $9 for 4AA battery's , I would not want to even guess what these would cost.
But.... I may gain a MPH ! :D.

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.

bgizzle 10-16-2012 10:14 PM

What kind of Onboard charger you run on them Optimas?

bgizzle 10-16-2012 10:19 PM

Anyone found out who makes these big mama's? No info on web

Ding!
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

Jadams 10-16-2012 10:25 PM

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

DA COVE 10-16-2012 10:41 PM

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.

sniper3726 10-16-2012 10:55 PM

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.
