When I bought my last Optima for my F-150, the guys at wherever parts store 
said it wasn't so hot for the occasionally driven.

It was PERFECT for my '91 Taurus SHO because I was cleaning the terminals 
practically monthly and never had to do it again with the Optima.  I haven't 
had 
one long enough to have to replace one yet.

I'm not so good about checking the acid in the battery, so from that stand 
point 
they are also good.

I like 'em, but like anything else "high tech" they are certainly not necessary.

JMO.
