Default Re: optima batterys....worth it?

To me, the price differential to big to just have a luxury. BTW, why are the lead-acid batteries sold with a longer warranty than the optimas? I got a duralast gold battery from Autozone with 3 years free replacement and 8 years pro rated. The red top did not have but a 2 year free replacement and only 6 or 7 year pro rated warranty. Of course, I got the guy who just had a job there and did not really belong in the parts stores. And I did not really care to ask anyone else at the time. I'm impatient, especially in a busy store.

The way my diesel tech instructor talks gel cell batteries aer going to soon be the only thing out there. They can be mounted anywhere in any position. Like any gel cell they have to have a low charge. Thats prolly why those ppl were boiling them. My dad sales gel cells but not Optima and he usually put a motorcycle battery charger on the gel cells. Make any sense to you guys?
