Thanks for the report! I have paid the premium price for Optima batteries (in other applications) in exchange for the reliability that the...

An apology. I didn't realize with my first few posts that they would be held for moderation. This was not a surprise to me, I just forgot. This...
I would like to make a post to introduce myself. My name is Jim Alles. I am an Engineering Technician. My last employer was The Pennsylvania...
I am sorry, my point was , it will be something higher than 12.7 volts to maintain the charge in any car.
"hybrid charging system", or 12volt auxiliary system (which is what I am talking about).
I just disconnected the Aux battery to service the brakes, and the only thing I had to reset was the clock afterwards. If you want the most...
So, what happens when the A/C system is in recirculate mode?
This is true This is not entirely true. Yes, as it gets closer to a full charge the less amperes the battery draws. But unless a vehicle has an...
I can't address all of the myths, but I can take a picture of the OEM battery where it clearly states "Do Not Exceed 4.2 Amps" This was a surprise...
The testing you are discussing is attempting to read impedance, with other electronics connected.? I would prefer to err on the side of 'best...
How do propose to replace the battery without disconnecting it?
what you are saying here is not wrong, for a battery that is not deeply discharged. (say, below 12v for AGM) Even at 12.5v, it can take hours to...
That is, take it back to another Auto Parts Store, and have them do a free load test. Do be sure it is fully charged before you take it there.
I agree with Tim, get that 12v Aux battery fully charged. I have had good experience with my particular charger while still connected. For that...
My guess from a distance (In space & time) is the LiFePo4 does not generate as much heat in normal operation. The OEM NiMH batteries can easily...
Thank you for posting here, it has been very informative!
The entire Optima product line is a spiral-wound AGM lead-acid technology. IMHO, you can't do any better than that. I had a blue-top that lasted...
