It is my recommendation that you not purchase this battery, but I know you want it, and I know why you want it, because I also bought this battery. What we will do is as follows. 6 times out of 10 it will fail It will take you at least 12 months to replace a phone and you will end up taking much of your time to do that. I would strongly advise against purchasing Optima if you think it will help. Yeah, I read the warranty too, and it looks like you'll just get another one from Optima, does it not? Not at all. At first, when it started failing due to a bad cell, they were almost ready to replace it, but they (Optima) decided that I must take it somewhere so that they can test it and print out a report on how they tested it and the reason This is not very common, as you might think. A few months passed and I finally found a place with such a test engineer. The company just has changed its policy and doesn't care anymore. They will direct you to Amazon for help because "When you buy bad groceries from the store, do you return them to the farmer? "
When you call Optima, they will say that you should call Amazon. A manufacturer's warranty is provided by the car dealership when you purchase a car from them. The difference between cars and batteries is that cars do not perish. Is that all there is to it? A second thing to recall is that Amazon cannot contact In order to get details about what they have to do, Optima says you can call them but every time Amazon tries to call them, the line goes out. Also, Optima will only be able to take your call They never seem to want to help you any further once they realize you are returning a battery. It is unlikely they are screening calls based on caller ID, but I think they should always allow you to call from several different numbers. There is a 100% certainty in my statement that they are among the rudest people I have ever met. I should mention that Abigail, from Customer Service at Amazon, went above and beyond when it came to this one and got a new one ready The thing is, she should never have been required to do that. While I'm aware Amazon is a giant company, this $200 won't hurt them in any way shape or form, but they shouldn't be expected to pick up the slack for manufacturers who can't bother to warranty their own product.
So, if you are absolutely certain you have to buy this battery, then please do yourself a favor and spend the extra $40 to get it from your local auto parts store so that you can simply return it.
A little more than a year and a month, then suddenly and without warning, she
Do you want me to say anything else? As long as I used this battery responsibly, it lasted for exactly 1 year and 1 month in my 2001 Lexus RX300. The temperature dropped to 0 degrees farenheit and the battery just died without any warning. Fortunately, I had a backup starter, and the car was able to be jumped, and then driven on the highway for 45 minutes. It made no difference. When I restarted the car after turning it off and then tried again, it could not crank. I am not doing anything. No more power. The battery has completely run out. The following are edits to our original post This item comes with one year of warranty, as listed below). Optima was contacted on my behalf by Amazon (either by phone or email) and instructed to respond to my email as soon as possible. Seven days have gone by and no one has We tried to contact Optima directly by using the warranty number provided on the manufacturer's website but the number is disconnected. We got back on a chat line with Amazon and tried to call Optima directly. It took us six attempts to reach you. The phone rings once, then goes to disconnected.
"Better not commit the error of buying Optima!" Since I do not want this trash to stay in my vehicle any longer, I will not pursue a warranty return. The Mr. P. In my opinion, shorts in the vehicle, a bad alternator, and excessive battery drain when the car is off were all ruled out None of the above were present.
I'm on my way to return my order not even 60 days after I ordered Usually I charge my battery every 2-4 days, but two days ago mine died. Now that it has been 48 hours, it is just 7 a. m. I have tried using 5 amps and still can't start the vehicle. My order was returned/replaced on Amazon when I went to the site.

It is recommended to buy a battery from Interstate that is backed by a The original battery died on me after less than 90 days, and after writing Amazon furious, I got a new one. It was around 11pm that night when I sent an email. In the early hours of the morning, I checked my email while at work again. I had already begun receiving a new battery from Amazon after they responded. We're giving it to you for free! Since I had to pay special shipping, I did not have to send back my original. It took just a few days for the new battery to arrive. The system has been set up again and is working perfectly. I am hoping this one will last me for some time, but regardless, Amazon quickly resolved the issue when I received a defective battery.
I purchased this battery in less than two months and it died within that time period. The extended warranty people are proving obtuse, and I've been trying to get a refund or a.
Batteries such as this did not meet Optima's standards or represent the reputation of the company As soon as it was received, there was a problem with the battery. Although I am not sure who was at fault, Amazon followed through on its promise to refund. My sincere thanks go to you.
Las Vegas has a harsh climate which can damage batteries, but they have an average life expectancy of 2 years. There was only one year left on this one. The discharge cycle may have been deeper than average since I don't drive often. It has a lower self-esteem when it's new, but the downside is that it's more expensive Since the battery has a slower discharge rate than other batteries, I can leave it for a few weeks without driving and the car will start.
