Is there a specific type of charger that needs to be used for charging Optima batteries?
Since they are AGM batteries, I didn't know if a standard battery charger would work.:confused:

Nothing special according to their website.

OPTIMA batteries are very expensive. Are they that much better than Wal-Mart deep cycle?
I've had both..... You definitely get what you pay for!!! Get Optima and forget about worrying about battery power.... They are bulletproof!Quote:

what size are you running Steve...the D34M or the larger D31M and where do you usually get yours...I know Advance had them but they are closed...I think you can order them from Auto Zone but they don't seem to have the blue tops in stockQuote:

I use the D34's. I had bought mine at Advance but the site Bill put on here has the lowest prices I've seen.Quote:

Steve and TJ.........Check out the specs on this Sears battery. It looks to be a good deal more battery for about the same money as the Optima. The 31M that is.

if you let'em get below a certain amp they are a bitty to recharge, check there site.....had to get another goo batt-ry and hook it to the charger, then cable the good'ern to the optima. But it was my fault for letting it go down so low. the battery tender I have it hooked to now is sa-weet
Check with Bill Burnett @ Big River Marine in West Memphis. He says he will beat any advertised price on Optima. He is a xpress and Optima dealer.Quote:

Yes.. It says it's a glass mat construction to allow multi position mounting. I priced Optima on this link and they were less money than if Cabela's ships them to anywhere. I figure Sears will be taxed so Optima will probably be the best buy but not the biggest AGM battery.Quote:

But even when you look at the specs for the 34M, the Sears battery appears to have more reserve capacity, AH capacity and CCA and Ca, etc, compared to the D34M Optima and a 36 month free replacement warranty for about the same money, disregarding sales tax. Both have more reserve than Cabela's but all are good batteries.
