Well, My optima died on me once again due to not running the car, and alarm constantly on. Luckily, Warranty got it replaced for free, but I don't want to keep going back every season, What storage chargers are you guys using on your optima red tops? I wont be driving the car till March/April.
I'd say use a battery tender (trickle charger) to keep something going into it
I use the Battery Minder for my Optima Red. They have a special charger that is made specifically for the Optima Batteries. This is the second year of using it after I too let my original optima red just sit and then die. This thing works 99% of the time. The 1% of the time it didn't work was when I didn't plug it into the wall but that was just user error. It also comes with a free battery condition indicator that I also leave hooked up under my hood.
^ thanks I'll go with that unit.
