4 years on my red Optima with no issues!![]()
I think Chad (V10SpeedLuver) had several Optima's go bad on his Viper. Search for 'Optima' or 'Battery' and I'm sure several threads on Optima's will appear.
5 yrs on my red Optima no issues either

That's what I use. I'm now on my 4th one, with all being replaced for free with no questions asked. ........ On the bright side, I can now change the battery out in about 30 minutes start to finish, which included me driving the battery to AutoZone to get the replacement.
That's what I use. I'm now on my 4th one, with all being replaced for free with no questions asked. I'm currently on my longest lasting battery. The reason? I drive my Viper about 2-4 times a month, sometimes longer between drives. The last time I replaced my battery, I ordered the Battery Tender from JonB. I honestly think this is the reason my battery has finally lasted longer than 9 months. Hell, I thought I had a grounding issue.
So whatever you decide to go with, I'd invest in a battery tender. Cheap insurance that will hopefully prevent you from being stranded. On the bright side, I can now change the battery out in about 30 minutes start to finish, which included me driving the battery to AutoZone to get the replacement.![]()
Wow. GREAT DEAL, quite the testimonial. Choose and buy a crappy battery, virtually guaranteed to FAIL, and get the privilige to pick up, remove and re-install 4 replacements for 'free' during the ONE warrantee period?
This topic is eminently SEARCHABLE...... I have seasonal storage issues sine 1993, and own the MOST problematic year (96.5) and I prefer SEARS DIE-HARD GOLD or PLATINUM. (never an Optima). Of course, a Battery Tender is an absolute MUST.
.......... it doens't matter what battery I use, as they ALL will fail me with my driving habits. ...........After getting my battery tender from you, I have yet to have any battery issues and am on the longest stretch yet on the same battery..
5 Yrs Also On My Red Top With No Issues But I Think It's Close To Replacement Time.
