So I heard about Optima batteries not being as good as they used to be (that somewhere along the way they made a change for a worse).
Well, I have an Optima Battery in my 993 and have had it for 8 years now and it is still going strong.
To make a long story short, 2 years ago (when my 993 Optima was 6 years old and still going strong), I decided to ignore all the negative reviews and comments on the internet and what I had been hearing at various events from people and give another Optima a try since I've only had good experiences.
Well, I should have listened!
This Optima is now deader than dead and it is barely 2 years old. I have learned my lesson! I will heed what others say about things changing and not waste any more money on Optima. So sad that they have gone downhill like this because they used to have such a great product. I had bought my first Optima under the recommendation of several people who had such positive experiences and now it is the complete opposite!
Even a cheap regular acid battery will last more than 2 years and typically costs 2/3rds or 1/2 the price of an Optima battery depending on what you are getting!
I'll be looking into Oddessey or Braille batteries next!
