I understand, but for me I just got tired of having them dead sooner than later so back 6 years ago or maybe 7 I bought these Optima batteries and still going strong. I am super happy and worth the extra bucks just to keep me from having to change them out since I am not suppose to lift more than 20 pounds. So for me getting 3 or more times as much time out of these has bee more than worth the cost for me. Plus don't forget they got abused a few years back when my boat was stranded in it's slings for 1 1/2 years and I let them go dead as all get out and went through 2 winters, but still popped right back and off again. I would sure buy the same ones again! I even changed my starting battery to the same as I have on my TM so now happy camper! I do believe they have a customer here that will never change again.
