Thank you sir. I'll be sure to stay away from that one.

That's exactly what I've noticed... the Optima's seem to have a lower capacity. I'll look into the Odyssey and see if that's a viable option. I know there was a certain size that was known for giving people problems. Besides that, I've heard nothing but good things about Odyssey batteries...
