Needed a new battery. Found this sale at pep boys, free shipping. Just enter code MMJ30. Up to 30% off. Till 8/7/17

I have never used optima before, but for the price figured I would try.

I use to have (2) group 31, but chose to go smaller with group 27 for space. Optima offers group31 if you need
 
I am running two optima group 27's and have no issues thus far.
 
@Rana is a teacher and her car tends to sit for long periods of time over the summer and other breaks. I was replacing the battery once a year in her Jetta. After a few years I bought an Optima Yellow Top. It was still working fine when we sold the car six years later. So I would be perfectly happy to have Optimas in the boat.
