When I bought my last Optima for my F-150, the guys at wherever parts store
said it wasn't so hot for the occasionally driven.
It was PERFECT for my '91 Taurus SHO because I was cleaning the terminals
practically monthly and never had to do it again with the Optima. I haven't
had
one long enough to have to replace one yet.
I'm not so good about checking the acid in the battery, so from that stand
point
they are also good.
I like 'em, but like anything else "high tech" they are certainly not necessary.
JMO.
