Tony,
The battery that came with my 03 Harley was still going after 6 yrs when I
sold it the bike. I never had a bike battery that went longer than 3
yrs.....most went 2. The newer was a gel battery. Maybe that's what was the
difference. Funny, but the warranty was the same as the old wet
acid.....one year.

John- Sounds as tho you may have gotten 20 years if you had seen that
article.
Its hard to imagine any item being made these days lasting beyond the
warranty- for a fact, most thing go south as soon as the warranty
expires.That
is one good thing about Sears, you can keep renewing your warranty and they
continue to honor it. I had a lawn mowing business I started for my son
when
he was ten, now there are a ton of zero turn mowers on trailers. When he
was
16 I had to beg him to get him to mow, so I would mow, some years I would
sub
the yards out but while waiting for my disability it kept food on the table
and the electric bill paid. A few years back my grandson came to live with
me.
he is biracial, so he had a chip on his shoulder and was pretty lazy,
until I
paid him, man did the cash ever motivate him, he had no idea how much
money he
was making BUT I got burned out and retired the grasshopper. If my son
would
have followed the "old mans" advice he
would have a 150k business and wouldn't have to do anything but make sure
the
yards where up to the standards I set as my business cards'Guranteed
Services"
said if you weren't happy, it was free, so I had to go back and inspect the
weed eating to make sure whom ever was working for me did what I told them-
like every piece of grass that was suppose to get weed eat-ed- DID.
NOW, I need an Optima that fits my Harley and my Tiger and IF I can get 8
years, I will be elated. I don't know how you manged to get 15 but they
should pay you to star in a commercial.Cheers,
TonytheTiger

Just replaced the Optima red top battery in my Tiger after 16 years.
Now an article in the latest Hot Rod shows how to get it to charge again.
Can someone tell us what the Hot Rod article said?
