Optima
batteries are great for cars (I have one in my truck), but I’m not convinced
that they’re a great deep-cycle choice for a boat. Optimas, as you
note, are spiral wound AGM batteries. From what I’ve read, you can
get more bang for the boat buck with a Lifeline AGM. The spiral winding
apparently makes the Optimas especially resistant to vibration, which is more
of an issue in a car than on a boat.

Sorry to switch gears but this is the only way
I know how to get into
the system.
Does anyone have experience with Optima batteries? Are they worth the
added expense? How about life? In case I’m spelling it wrong, these are
the spiral wound batteries using the high purity lead. Their marketing
pitch is that they are highly efficient and long lasting. I guess,
because of the high purity lead, they don’t “sulphate” as easily.
Any thoughts out there?
