An optima sure isn't going under my hood after reading that!
At least with my walmart battery, I can sue for 1 million bucks (seems to be the standard ) and get enough cash to buy as many rangers as I like. None of 'em could ever replace my beloved Gold Dust but, 1 mill sure would help heal the wound.

I've had an Optima Yellowtop in my truck since early 2011 and I've never had a problem with it yet. I've run tons of accessories off of it while camping and still had it fire up in the morning. I'm talking lights, radios, power inverters, air pumps, TV, laptop, more lights...I was impressed with it.
Never heard about them exploding before. Mine has never had any issues, and I've got more wires coming off the terminals than anything lol
