27 of 27 people found the following review helpful.This battery is expensive. I could have bought 3 normal!? lead acid batteries for the price that I paid for only one Optima battery. Why did I do that? I have a 1951 Ford that had a 6 volt system when it was new. I restored it and left it as original as possible. My current lead acid battery is 5 years old. It was leaking and causing corrosion on both battery terminals as well as eating the paint off my battery holder. I participate in a few old car restoration chats. Many, many of the other folks that have tried the 6 volt Optima assured me that I would not be sorry that I spent 3 times more money and I should go ahead a purchase this battery.I bit the bullet, so to speak, and ordered the battery. I had already cleaned my cables and repainted my battery holder while waiting for the battery to arrive. I strapped it in with bungie cords and turned the key. I spins the engine as fast as a 12 volt. The car had been setting long enough for some of the gasoline to evaporate out of the carburator. With the old battery, I normally squirted some starter fluid down the carb before even attempting to start it. I just wanted to see if this battery is a great as I have been told.The only thing that I can find to complain about is the size of the battery. I had to make a holddown for it. I cut up some sheet metal, bent it and welded it together in about an hour. I am now a happy owner of a battery that I think that I can trust. I'm also told that it will never leak and ruin my cables or battery holder.Ron
26 of 29 people found the following review helpful.The Optima battery is a great product. No review necessary of the product quality, it's a good brand and delivers great performance. But the way it was shipped was really surprising. There was no box, nothing. The shipping labels were just slapped on the plastic housing of the battery and the insulating caps were taped down with clear packaging tape. It arrived, but was showing obvious abrasion to the plastic, and I had to use Goop Off to get the glue from the various labels removed. This battery is destined for a classic car. It is visible when you open the hood, so looks count. I was really surprised that Amazon's supplier of these did such a PATHETICALLY POOR JOB of packaging it for shipment!
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.Bought 2 of these 6 volt for our antique cars in May, 2010. In October the first one would not hold a charge. Took it to the local Optima distributor and they verified it would not hold a charge. The second one failed in March, 2011 and Amazon said it was not their responsibility since it was over 30 days. A good deal is only a good deal when it works. This is not a good deal. Please consider buying from a local distributor that will stand behind their product. I've learned my lesson.
