The shipping labels were stuck directly to the bare battery. No padding, no box, nothing but a wrap of plastic to hold the spacer in place. It was shipped with absolutely no protection. I refused to accept delivery of this item. Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2010 Here's an online review someone left after purchasing an OPTIMA battery: Some sites try to mitigate these fake reviews by requiring (or at least identifying) reviews made by people who actually made purchases, but even those are not without their issues for consumers. That can happen when you don't have much to say about your own products. Fake reviews can go both ways too, as employees at some companies feel their time is best-spent trying to convince consumers not to buy a competitor's product, instead of convincing them to buy their own. In spite of their best efforts to curtail them, fake reviews and inflated ratings are still a problem for some of the world's largest online retailers. When sellers found out positive reviews could improve their visibility (and sales) on eCommerce sites, they started figuring out how to game the system. They want to see success stories before they commit to making a purchase and who can blame them? It can work and some of the biggest online retailers have embraced online reviews, but they are not without their issues. The thought was that customer reviews instill confidence in consumers looking to make a purchase. However, the warranty reviews are inconsistent, to say the least, so let’s hope you’ll never be in a position to have to use it."We need to show customer reviews somewhere!" was the cry at some point in OPTIMA's history. The Optima RedTop AGM Battery allows you mounting freedom thanks to its spill-proof design and a generous warranty that is a year longer than most other companies would offer. But if you’re looking for a high performance battery that’s still a little bit more affordable you should consider the ODYSSEY PC680 Odyssey Battery. The battery retails for $200.00 on Amazon which, believe it or not, is on the lower end of the spectrum and qualifies for free shipping. This is longer than most automotive battery companies, but the reviews on the warranty haven’t been the greatest. The Optima RedTop Starting Battery offers a three warranty with a free replacement battery if something goes wrong. The Optima Batteries 8014 045 YellowTop Purpose also contains this extra durability, and can double as a deep cycle battery, if you want to check it out. If the roads near your place aren’t paved or just in bad shape, you’ll enjoy this extra durability. It’s even fifteen times more resistant to a car battery’s worst enemy, vibration. It’s spill proof design allows you a great amount of mounting flexibility without having to worry about electrolyte leakage. The Optima RedTop Battery is group size 75/25, as you may have already guessed, is maintenance free, and has a longer life thanks to the generous reserve capacity. While this may not be the fastest we’ve seen it’s still on the higher-end. The reserve capacity is also generous at 90 minutes. The RedTop 75/25 also offers faster recharging, though exactly how much faster isn’t specified. You can also check out the Optima Batteries 8020 164 35 Starting for a similar battery with similar high power starting. The Optima Battery RedTop 75/25 features 720 cold cranking amps which is more than sufficient to get a car or truck started in the middle of winter.
