After 2 red and 2 yellow optimas, for me it's a no-go using this product in the future. Overpriced and not worth it for the time being. Average life about 2,5 years and I'm not Dagobert Duck swimming in money.

I switched for my cars to a hawker oddysee which now works almost 5 years without an issue and for the Pantera I installed a banner battery from Austria which is one of a kind. Since I switched to these batteries is a no brainer to start the car after 7 weeks without hanging on a charger.

Finally I can confirm what some folks already wrote. Size isnt the main trigger, if you install such batteries they will work plug'n play because of the size. Check the Ampere # which comming close or slightly above the original battery and go for it. There won't be any significant weight reduction using a drycell battery but for me the handling and longer last is main.

Good luck
