 Optima Batteries OPT D34M D900M 12V Marine Battery BT December 10, 2007

Awesome battery which does not require a whole lot of charging to keep it topped off when setting during the winter months; I have a regular WalMart Deep Cycle battery for starting and it does require alot of changing. Recovery time after a full day of fishing is much less than regular deep cycle batteries. If you are a fisherman and want a battery the will deliver this is it but if you are running one of the larger trolling motors purchase the next step up in this battery. Well worth the money.

What a great product. I have a strickly off-road vehicle, this battery starts it everytime. It sits for long periods of time between uses, it has never failed me. I use a winch often, have extra lighting and an on-board air system. The sealed design, is one of the features that sold me. The Optima won't let you down.
Poor Shipping, Damaged Battery, Ok Amazon Service November 19, 2008

The battery arrived in what looked like the original box that it ships in from the manufacturer. There was a 61 pound battery in a box just barely big enough to slide it in and close the lid. The corrugated box was thicker than normal ones, but there was no padding of any sort inside.
My battery had obviously taken a fall in transport and the box corner was damaged. The battery inside was dented. It wouldn't take a proper charge, so I tried to get an RMA from Amazon. The website says they won't take it back and to refer to the manufacturer.
After some research to find the number to contact the manufacturer, I called them and was told that Amazon will indeed take it back and that it's Amazon's fault because they have been shipping these with improper packaging and Optima is trying to get them to fix it. The rep there insisted that if I call Amazon I'll get them to take it back.
I called them (kind of hard to find a way to talk with a live rep as you can imagine, but they did answer quickly and were polite) and was told that they will take it back. But after a few minutes of trying to send me a packing slip, I was told that they couldn't produce one for this product and I should just ship the battery back at my cost and I'd be reimbursed shipping when it arrived.
They also offered me a $10 credit to compensate for the trouble. I didn't ask. So that was nice.
It cost me about $32 to ship it to them UPS ground. And when it got there I was refunded for the product on my CC that day and when I wrote them to refund me for the shipping, that was taken care of very promptly also.
I buy a lot from Amazon. I love the site and the service usually. This has been my first less than good experience. I have to rate the product well because as far as I know it would have been good if undamaged. And the company rep was knowledgeable and helpful. But with all the overkill packaging Amazon usually does I was shocked that this product was so poorly handled. And the return process was irritating too.

I use Optima Blue Top batteries as a power backup with a pure sinewave inverter/charger. They are powerful and can be mounted at any angle since they are sealed and don't vent gas like a flooded battery. Being sealed, the posts don't corrode like regular batteries and the can be used indoors with care. When under a load they hold at 12 volts for a long time and recharge much faster than most batteries and do not heat up even when charged fast, like 70 amps. Optima could package them a little better for shipping - one was cracked at the bottom. A piece of stryofoam in the bottom of the box would have saved it from damage. Amazon did send a replacement. Thanks.

I was nervous about some of the past reviews complaining about the shipped to customer condition. I called customer service and asked for a note to go on my account saying I need two fresh Optimas that are in a "Clean" condition and to please make sure they have enough packing material to keep them safe in shipping. I received two fresh date stamped batteries in good condition.
Optimas are a great battery that will stand up to the pounding I put them through and utilize a standard conditioning charger, they are not gel batteries. Other choices are available but I've had great luck with them (last set made it 6+ years in an Offshore boat)
