Im suprised nobody mentioned the diehard platinum. which replaced all optima batteries at sears, and is a far superior design.
optima warranties suck, and we saw alot of problems with the red tops. so far the platinum has been awesome compared to them.

)EverStart - 3 year free replacement/100 month prorate/Made by Johnson Controls
Optima - 3 year free replacement/ Made by Johnson Controls
DieHard - 3 year free replacement/100 month prorate/Made by Johnson Controls.
and...the warranty difference is....?
do correct me if I'm wrong on this, but...if its got that kind of warranty....what makes one better than the other (besides the optimas of course, they're in a class all their own IMO)

Example: People pay BIG money for land rovers, but they're also one of the most unreliable vehicles on the market.

You can't compare the two, it'* like comparing a boat motor'* warranty to a car'* warranty.
Optima Reds are great in winter, mine was always on, always cranking even when rated @ 770 CCA. Never had an issue even @ 15 below, 20 below, etc.. It lived outside in MN winters as well. It'* also sealed, will work upside down, never needs filling etc..
