My Optima has been working, but I haven't had it very long. I hope I don't have the same problems as Phil.

i'd be willing to be an experiment.... i've got that reasonably new Optima YT type 51 in there, but i'm not married to it... pftt... i'd kick that biznatch to the side of the road faster than i could sneeze...

How does Exide compare to say, Optima? I saw some Exides over at Kragen the other day.

Anyone have an Odysessy, or know if they make a battery for our cars? I have on on order for my Jeep, as my dad builds/races buggies for the Baja 1000 and most the guys are running them saying they are better than the optimas, but other than that don't know much about them.

Well, I had more bad news today.

I was told that Optima is the OEM for Exide, and since Optima hasn't made the Yellow top for the last 3-5 months now, guess what the supply situation is for the Exide group 51 battery?
