[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1041223, member: 17493"] they need daily charging (driving to maintain). if put in a wheeler or hotrod that doesnt get run daily it starts to take less and less charge:booo: . its kinda like a cordless phone, if you leave it on the charger it will work for long calls but if you only charge it at night or when its dead, they seem to drain very quickly and you cant seem to bring them back:mad: I have about 10 dead optimas from over the years and am sad they seem to market them to people that have speacility vehicles that dont get driven much:rolleyes: I have even tried thier deep cycles (blue and yellow) and they suck too. I have red, blue, yellow, orange, and a couple of funny looking red and black ones = all junk. if used in a daily driver they are great and recover quickly and are sealed nicely:awesomework: otherwise=poop:puke: [/QUOTE]
