[Flathead Fever]

Optima are expensive but I think in the long run it evens out because they seem to last for a long time. I've had a brand new one sitting on the running board of my Model A for two-years. I haven't charged it, and it still has a full charge. I couldn't let a regular battery sit for two-years; it would be dead and might not take a charge. I had just bought the Optima and then I had a stroke. So far, it's holding its charge waiting for me to install it.
