Excellent product, I've used these batteries before on various V8 powered vehicles. They have never let me down, even though the vehicles are not used everyday. This latest battery was fitted to a 302cu in V8 that had stood for 2.5 years, once I had made sure the engine wasn't seized, this battery kept turning it over in short bursts until it fired up, this took quite a while but the battery never lost power or faded. If you want a decent battery Optima are the ones to get.

It is smaller than the 072 size I had previously, so beware with battery clamps. That aside, I can't fault it.

SW - Wallington - 30 Jun 2016

This is the 3rd pair of Optimas I have purchased for 2 pick trucks & I consider them a trouble free battery option. First pair bought in 2001 & USA manufactured lasted 14 yrs in a vehicle which is stored 6 months of year .Having said that I do keep batteries in a reasonable state of charge while not in use. Later versions are made in Mexico I think company was bought out? so not sure if they will match the original`s performance ? Good batteries

I bought this as an upgrade as the previous battery developed fault (became unable to hold a charge for longer than 12 hrs). I can therefore confirm this fits a 1996 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) battery platform. More expensive that that which it replaces (Numax AM 058R) but hopefully it'll live up to the Optimax reputation. This is a AGM or 'Gel' battery so there's no acid to spill and if my experience of AGM technology on a Mazda MX-5 is anything to go by it should see me through a good few cold winter morning starts. Curiously the Numax AM 058R is no longer on Tanya's lineup so perhaps my issue was not unusual? I haven't given this 5 stars as it has only been fitted for a couple of weeks but will update after winter 2016/17 with a final verdict.
