I picked one up last night, and it only has 750cca. Debating on keeping it or not.....yes, no.

I have one in my 98. It was supposed to be for the 70, but I ended up pulling it apart. That battery has yet to see a charge. Even after sitting for 6 months it was still charged like new.

The Optima's cell design is the key. The battery design makes it totally different than conventional batteries. Keep it, it will outlast any other battery for its price...

I still don't see the appeal of an Optima battery.

Its sentimental, when you get one and have it in your car for 8 years, you'll understand...
