yes of course you can optimas dont like being trickle charged from flat, the like a faily high amp inital charge and then you can back the amps off. I think in the paperwork that came with mine a true 10 amp charger was the recommended amount. maybe check their web site. |

So your saying these thing don't die?? The only thing I've had to do with em is getting them out of the way so I can service the rest of the car. |

I had an optima in the boot of my daily driver for 5 years. In this time it was disconnected and recieved no charge (and no drain also). When I finally went to reuse it, the voltage had dropped to 10.x volts. Installed it and it still had enough grunt to crank the car and fire it up on the first hit of the key. It was charged by the alternator and hasn't missed a beat in the 12 months since. They're damn near unkillable (Y). |
