Wow crazy. My 6 year old Optima is as strong as ever, and I've completely cycled it dead 3 times due to alternator issues a while back. Engine cranks very healthy even at 10,000 feet elevation and below freezing (Dusy-Ershim trail).
Sorry to hear they are loosing it. I've always recommended Optimas. We ran an Odyssey in our Formula Toy and loved it.
