Don't know if i'"ld go as far as calling the optimas garbage but over priced they def are....Bought mine when they were a little cheaper, they went up in price the last couple yrs...Had mine about 8 yrs er so now with NO complaints...
My best test of it was a few yrs after I bought it....I camped at SR fer almost a week, using it ONLY for a 45lb thrust TM on my canoe....Took it out EVERY morning and evening for at least two hours per trip....NEVER charged it all week and it only got low on the last day....If I wasn't already confident this trip def made me a believer that sometimes you get what you pay for...A higher price tag can be a small price to pay for confidence in ur gear...I still have and use this battery quite a lot and I would say that it performs just as well as the day I bought it....I believe the longevity of a battery(meaning total life of the battery in yrs) is a HUGE selling point....I think the vibration resistence makes any particular battery last many more yrs than others, especially if your travelling LONG distances to get to ur destinations....
Good luck and let us know what you decide to go with...
