[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1530466, member: 17493"] I dont. I have tossed tons of optimas in the scrap. I tried over and over. After eating crow for $130 multiple times, never again. I was even on a mission when younger to prove my pops wrong. He owns a hotrod shop. He HATED gelcel batteries. EVERY car that came had one and after getting a couple weeks worth of work done, NO START. So I put them in everything I drove. Ever try to find the battery in a custom rod that you dint build? Then after finding it, some may take a half hour or better to get to it. Hot rods arent exactly convenient to work on. Pretty soon I sided with my pops. Old simple batteries with lead and acid sit forever and still WORK!! They dont like to sit, it kills them. So in your wifes car they will last ten years. But they continue to market them to people with specialty cars and boats that SIT. If they so baddass, why do they need a tender plugged in making my power company money? [/QUOTE]
