 great battery, but trouble w/ warranty via amazon Jul 31, 2009
By D. Yuan
i've heard nothing but good things about optima batteries, but mine must've been a fluke, 'cuz it died after just 6 months. a battery test showed that it was indeed bad. but it has a 3-year warrant. HOWEVER, amazon does not accept returns for batteries, 'cuz it's hazmat. instead, it just tells me to recycle it at my authorized local recycling dealer. i called optima, and they told me that amazon is NOT an authorized online dealer, but fortunately they were able to find a servicer locally that i can go to, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. the moral of the story? optima batteries are great, but do not buy them from amazon! in the unlikely even that your battery fails prematurely, amazon does not take care of you. spend a little bit more money and get them form a local store or someone who's authorized. that probably goes for any electronic things and amazon. don't get me wrong. i love amazon, but i probably would only buy books and such from them from now on

 Excellent Battery for Mini Cooper S Apr 14, 2009
By D. Cook
Fits nicely in my 2004 Mini Cooper S. Only thing to look out for is you need to manually spread the clamp for the positive terminal. Will not slide on without doing so. And of course bend the extra wire up and out of the way as the terminal is farther in on the battery than it is on the stock oem battery but that information I found all over the net. I have only had it in for a couple weeks so I cannot speak to its longevity. Does seem to turn the car over a little easier/quicker, but I could be imagining that.

as advertised Jun 01, 2010
By J. Benoit
The battery was correct but I was suprised they did not put it in a box. It was pretty scratched up from shipping.

NO WARRANTY OR RETURNS - NO MANUFACTURE DATE Jun 12, 2010
By Waffle Lover
Pay attention before ordering this - this is a HAZMAT item that is not returnable or refundable for any reason.
So, there is no warranty, regardless of what it says.
By the way the R on this battery stands for REVERSE, so the the negative and positive terminals are reversed, and this actually makes it not fit properly in most vehicles, don't think you can just turn it around - the cables in the vehicles don't necessarily reach of the other side of the battery spot.
Also, unlike most optima batteries, this won't come with any indication of when it was manufactured....

 Great battery, but can't fit car. Apr 20, 2009
By sweetsop
Got this today, but it can't fit the car, posts are too far in for cables. Amazon said it fits the 2004 Suzuki XL7, but it doesn't. I would have to make some modifications to the cables, which I might or might not do. Thinking of ordering the D35 yellow top from Blue Grass. I can tell from the picture of the D35 that the posts are closer to the edge, which means it will fit my ride. I'm very scared of Amazon's packaging. I got real lucky as there was no damage. If I buy the deep cycle D35, I'll put up the one I have for sale on Craig's List, because I know Amazon is not going to do an exchange.
