I have no problem with the Optimate, but it is nothing more than a simple Float Charger with a timer and selectable voltage of 14.4 or 14.7 volts. At 6 to 7 amps cannot charge large batteries. Right size for Optima Blue, Red and Yellow tops being their largest is 75 AH or so. Great batteries though if you need to hammer them with 4C loads. But the king is still Concorde in terms of quality and being able to handle large C-Loads but the price turns people away. Another one I like a lot is Oddessey and can take a hard hit. All have one thing in common is they are 100% pure lead. What sets optima apart is the Jelly Roll design made for a lot of vibrations and abuse made popular by Low Riders with jumping cars. You can hammer them with huge C-Rates and drop them off a building.
