Optima Battery in SVX

Has anyone had problems with Optima batteries?

I had one not holding a charge, bought 1/17/2016, replaced 10/3/2017. Now, it's happening again but it could be me. I should probably leave it on a trickle charger. My SVX sits a lot; I usually need to drive my truck for one reason or another.

Anyone have a preferred trickle charger for garage queens?

It's a little early to blame the battery- I am not- but I remember that when I returned the first battery, one of the guys at Autozone said he didn't like Optima batteries and I don't remember why. It was something about the technology in them.

So- not blaming the battery yet- just curious if anyone might know about Optima issues.
