and the Optima, is what the ultimate choice? I too had battery problems as did the PO, PO replaced the battery like 4 times in two years, i have all the receipts etc. Whats up w/ the warranty on a 6v? My battery was new and somehow got a crack at the top which turned into a leak, of course unbeknown it remained on the pan and created a couple pin holes. the battery now of course is out of car and has been sitting, and it wont hold a charge. rob --- Jason Weigel <notchboy@comcast.net> wrote: > Hey dont feel bad.
