I run two yellow top Optimas on my trolling motor. This year will be my third season with them. I like them so far. I have run the red top starting batteries in my cars for years. I figure since they cost twice as much as a good wet cell battery, that if I get twice the life out of them I come out even. I have red top batteries going on 8 years old. I have never had a wet cell battery last more that about two or three years. I really like the fact that they require no maintenance, they don't corrode the terminals or the mount plate like wet cells do, and they charge faster. I'm sold on them.
