here's what the problem is, you're trying to power accessory items, like amps and subs. red top isn't for that. it's for starting your car. if you need to power those things, buy a YELLOW TOP. it will out last probably 5 red tops that are being powered by stuff. that's why they make yellow top. for your subs and amps and neons and whatever else you want.
Agreed, However If You Need Power To Get By On Until You Can Pick Up A Yellow Top, Take That Optima To Any Place That Sells International Batteries And Have Them Put It On Their Trickle Charger For A Day. Those Damn Optimas Take For Ever To Bring Up To Full Charge. I Experienced The Same Problem With One Of Mine Five Years Ago. I Just Gave It Away Thinking It Was No Longer Chargeable. My Buddy Still Has That Thing In His Street/Strip Monte Carlo Today. Never Another Issue. He Just Took It In And Had It Charged By International. (For Some Reason My Home Trickle Charger Wouldn't Charge It. Perhaps Not Enough Amps...) But As Stated Above, Get Into A Yellow Top For All Your Audio Goodness. And Buy A Capacitor Too!!!!!
