[QUOTE="Maverick26, post: 1414387, member: 18044"] I have an Optima red top in my buggy and before it was in my jeep. I have never had a Battery take so much abuse. When it was in the jeep it ran a welder, was a welder and when I rolled my jeep it winched it 100' up a hill and never gave up (motor was not running). Then I left the key on for a week and drained it deader then MJ, tryed jumping it but no luck so I took it out and set it on the concrete in the shop for about 8 months. Sold the jeep and started building the buggy. 14 months later put it on the trickle charger then into the buggy and is still there. I have shorted it out, jumper cable welded it, and it sits for weeks at a time without running. I think I have an old one before Optima got bought buy someone else. They used to build there old ones with 1/2" copper plates now they are less then 1/8" thick. Easily shorted now. I hope my red top never dies. [/QUOTE]
