[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1298074, member: 17493"] If you are a DC electrician then you should clearly understand the charging differences and the ability to train these batteries to not take a full charge. The low internal resistance plays hell with charging systems and their ability to read these batteries. Ever bust one open? I have, several. Its not water/acid. Its electrolytic gel. I have scrapped more optimas than most have owned. They are just like a cordless phone. If ya put it on the charger everytime you are done using it it will always have a crisp FULL charge. If ya leave the phone by the TV all day and only charge it at night it will never maintain a FULL charge. Even if the second phone had been charged for two days straight it will not have the same capicity as the first one that always had good charging habbits. Optimas are fine in a DD that gets charged regularly. They do not like to sit for long periods like in a wheeler, street rod, boat, etc. These are the people the optima are marketed at the most too.:booo: [/QUOTE]
