4 years on my red Optima with no issues!
I think Chad (V10SpeedLuver) had several Optima's go bad on his Viper. Search for 'Optima' or 'Battery' and I'm sure several threads on Optima's will appear.
5 yrs on my red Optima no issues either
4 years on my red Optima with no issues!
That's what I use. I'm now on my 4th one, with all being replaced for free with no questions asked. ........ On the bright side, I can now change the battery out in about 30 minutes start to finish, which included me driving the battery to AutoZone to get the replacement.
That's what I use. I'm now on my 4th one, with all being replaced for free with no questions asked. I'm currently on my longest lasting battery. The reason? I drive my Viper about 2-4 times a month, sometimes longer between drives. The last time I replaced my battery, I ordered the Battery Tender from JonB. I honestly think this is the reason my battery has finally lasted longer than 9 months. Hell, I thought I had a grounding issue.
So whatever you decide to go with, I'd invest in a battery tender. Cheap insurance that will hopefully prevent you from being stranded. On the bright side, I can now change the battery out in about 30 minutes start to finish, which included me driving the battery to AutoZone to get the replacement.
Wow. GREAT DEAL, quite the testimonial. Choose and buy a crappy battery, virtually guaranteed to FAIL, and get the privilige to pick up, remove and re-install 4 replacements for 'free' during the ONE warrantee period?
This topic is eminently SEARCHABLE...... I have seasonal storage issues sine 1993, and own the MOST problematic year (96.5) and I prefer SEARS DIE-HARD GOLD or PLATINUM. (never an Optima). Of course, a Battery Tender is an absolute MUST.
.......... it doens't matter what battery I use, as they ALL will fail me with my driving habits. ...........After getting my battery tender from you, I have yet to have any battery issues and am on the longest stretch yet on the same battery..
5 Yrs Also On My Red Top With No Issues But I Think It's Close To Replacement Time.
