Anyone use this type of battery???
Any testimonials....
Im limited to space of group 24 but looking for more amps and longevity..
These seem to give you group 27 & 31 features in the same size as group 24
Any thoughts...

I have three Optima's (blue tops I think) in my Island Runner and will never buy another reguler battery again. 4 years old and I have never put a charger on them. The boat has sat for a couple months in the winter and they still cranked with no problem. I have also drained the slave battery, with a left on light, two times and the motors charged it up while running out and it never gave me a problem.

Everything he said... me too! My boat sat for almost 10 months and the 2 big golf cart batts managed to drain out but my opti starting batts fired right up.
