When I had the Optima's and they died, I think recharging them really killed them since they would no longer hold a charge. I hear you are only supposed to charge them at the 2 Amp rate, but I had no way to do that with my old chargers. I also have two booster packs but only use them for an emergency start. I know it's not good for a battery or alternator to charge a mostly dead battery with the alternator. I'll have to see how long this charge holds. I was smart enough to keep all the paper for the newest battery with the battery so returning/exchanging it should be a snap should it not hold a charge.
