Anyone have a red or yellow top optima with a good warranty so I can use the warranty? Both my red and yellow tops are bad and the warranty is expired. Thanks, Brad 440-225-9063 |

Before you condem them try charging them with 6 volts over night then switch to 12 volts. |

I 'll make a call for you Brad. We just got a new one for the drag car, I'll check and see if he will go for it. |

This was the thread that we talked about the charging method. Not sure why the link won't work. http://www.woodsbuggy.com/index.php?opt ... Itemid=109 Here is the fixed link: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/gene ... ewall.html |

When I charged my red top per the instructions in the Hot Rod article, it took about 4 days at a 2 amp charge to get it charged. I would leave it on there for a week and just check it all the time to see if it's getting hot. Mine has held charge and taken charge from the alternator since. |

Thats why I use the 6 volt method as it takes much less time and does not trip the internal overload. |
