Tell me if this is correct. The Optimum battery does not have the flat plates a traditional battery has. The plates are coiled to form cylinders. The number of cylinders varies depending on the battery. If this is the battery under discussion here, it is disappointing that it's not working out for John. This technology is a few years old and promised to be cheaper, last longer, take more recharges, charge faster, smaller/lighter and more environmentally friendly. I thought it would end up in the hybrid cars some day.
