I've been a loyal fan of the optima since its inception in the late 80's. I'm actually only on my 2nd purchased one. the first one died in its fifth year and was replaced for free (the original optimas had a 5 yr free replacement and 5th through 7th year proration.
I never told them that the battery actually sat for three years outside while I was away at college and wouldn't take a charge when I came back (go figure).
I just replaced it (the warranty replacement) with a new Optima a month or two ago.
I wouldn't buy any other battery. Its fun to go out to the car on a frigid day and walk past the people with their hoods up and get in may car and listen to the fast cranking.

Advance Auto is selling an Optima under their house brand; probably a bit cheaper. I don't know if it has the same warranty or not. When it's battery time here, that's what I think I'll go with.
