Optima is the famous AGM brand but just about everybody makes them now. As stated above, I had an Optima fail in 5 years of use.

AGM batteries are supposed to last longer and hold a charge longer without use but is it true? If it is, is it worth the higher price?

Keep all your vehicle batteries on tenders.
