Anyone running Optima blue tops?

[CT]

I bought 3 at once from battery world in rocky and had 2 replaced under warranty in 6 months.

Aargh...that's exactly where I was getting mine from!! Just when I'd made a decision too.

Brand new boat just keep spending and go the optimas [emoji14]

I'm going broke fitting out!

I have had an Optima Blue Top for 7 years now running a 150HP and always worked well however the Charger would never seem to know when the battery was full. Checked it earlier this year and its capacity was down to 95% so put it in the tinnie and now run the Seamaster. The only other issue I had with the blue top was it certainly dragged down when using the electric winch.

Apparently he hasn't managed to root the optimas he's got in everything now so I guess that's a clear vote for them

Maybe they just hold the worlds best surface charge

Certainly a lot of unhappy punters starting around 2000 or so and unhappy for at least a decade.
