 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....

DO NOT BUY THIS FROM AMAZON! Oct 03, 2011
By Shredward
Amazon is not an authorized dealer for Optima! Optima will not honor the warranty, and Amazon will not stand behind this product either. Amazon is being very dishonest by selling this battery knowing there is NO warranty. Mine died after two years (into the three year replacement warranty) and Amazon will not do a single thing to stand behind the purchase. What else on this site isn't Amazon telling you doesn't have a warranty? I have been a loyal Amazon/Prime customer for years, but not after getting off the phone with Amazon about this battery. It maybe a little more expensive to buy local, but I just learned my lesson that it is really cheaper in the long run.
