[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 900830, member: 16057"] I got a similar deal a while back on my yellow-top. Apparently some of those indoor go-kart places run electric carts and they run on Optima Yellow-tops. They replace the batteries as regular scheduled PM, no matter how much use they actually got. The ones that charge and pass a load test get sold off as refurbs. Some of the ones I saw looked pretty beat, but I found one that looked almost brand new. I figured it couldn't have been used much and still look that good, so I handed over my $40. That was 3+ years ago and it's still going strong. Oh yeah - my alternator crapped out for a while and I found that I could daily-drive it for about a week and a half before having to throw it on the charger overnight. That's what a deep cycle battery is for right? [/QUOTE]
