5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Battery, Just Beware When Purchasing Online, February 10, 2011

This review is from: Optima Batteries 8022-091 75/25 RedTop Starting Battery (Misc.)

Optima batteries, by virtue of their spiral cell design and construction, there is not a wet- or gel-cell lead-acid battery out there that can compare in terms of charging efficiency and durability. However, do not purchase this through Amazon -- it is NOT an authorized Optima dealer. Only an authorized Optima dealer, where you made your purchase, is obligated to replace a defective Optima battery with a new Optima. Check the Optima website for authorized dealers.

The above said, Optima batteries are better purchased at your local auto parts store that is an authorized dealer for the following reasons:

1. In the event of a warranty issue, it will be a simple swap.
2. Eliminate the wait and reduce shipping angst. Although an Optima battery is quite rugged, when shipped in a flimsy cardboard box and then tossed around and dropped by a careless courier, the impact by the battery's heavy bulk can cause its plastic case and the internal connections to weaken, crack, or break.
3. You can visually inspect a unit for physical damage from mishandling. Missing retaining fingers around the vent covers is a subtle but tell-tale sign that the unit has been mishandled.
4. You can check the voltage before walking out of the store with your new battery.

Hint: This is a long-lived product -- purchase through a store chain (franchise) if you anticipate relocating within three years, and do not lose your receipt.

If you insist on purchasing an Optima battery online, your best bet is to order from Optima itself directly. This is the only instance that Optima (the manufacturer) will deal with you directly and give you a replacement battery. Otherwise, all warranty issues are addressed through the authorized dealer where you purchased your Optima battery.

My 2002 vette needed a new battery and instead of buying the OEM Delco I decided on the Optima RedTop for a lot less money and more starting power. The engine never cranked better on start up.

This review is from: Optima Batteries 8022-091 75/25 RedTop Starting Battery (Misc.)

ive been using the dual purpose blue tops in my boat and have been so impressed with them that ive put one of these in my truck.

when you think about how much you depend on the thing its pretty reasonable to spend the extra money IF the product is true to its claims.

in my experience these things are worth paying extra for. i never worry about them.
