It goes without saying that both cars have properly operating charging systems with proper and clean electrical connections from bumper to bumper.

I always keep them on a very good quality tenders, not the cheap kind.

Needless to say, I am a happy customer and certainly hope that production of the 6V Optima continues.

"Good quality tenders"... give me an example, I've found a dozen, $15 to ten times that and none specify 6v AGM. Do you feel that the AGM (Optima) will tolerate a "Normal" charger? Thanks for any advice, I need it!
