And they weren't that old. I tried multiple things trickle charge regular charge with no success. I think I'm going to switch brands to Odyssey. **Q: Which is recommended for a small RV trailer the 8006-006 or 8016-103?** A: I no longer recommend Optima batteries. The manufacturer cheapened the components and raised the price. They now last no longer than other, less expensive batteries. In 2008 they would last 12 to 14 years. By 2014, they lasted about 2 years and cost $267. But my 2008 Optimas in my boat still work perfectly. **Q: Is this a SC34M? All I see is "34M" IS it the same?** A: Why would buying the battery from Amazon have anything to do with its quality? Amazon gets the product from many of Optima’s Authorized dealers so… saying “Don’t buy it from Amazon is a ridicules resonance. **Q: Will this battery start a backhoe? Has a 4 cylinder Perkins Diesel** A: if its 12 volt it might start it in the summer ## Frequently Bought Together - OPTIMA Batteries High Performance 34M Sealed AGM Boat and RV Starting Battery, 800 CCA, Dual Terminal, Maintenance Free, Versitile Mounting - OPTIMA Batteries High Performance D34M BlueTop Dual Purpose Deep Cycle and Starting Sealed AGM Boat and RV Battery, 750 CCA, Dual Terminal, Maintenance Free, Versitile Mounting - NOCO Genius GEN5X2: 2-Bank, 10A Onboard Battery Charger - 5A Per Bank, 12V Waterproof Marine Charger with Overcharge Protection & Temperature Compensation – for Lead-Acid & Lithium Batteries --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/370015481-batteries-8006-006-34m-bluetop-marine-starting-battery](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/370015481-batteries-8006-006-34m-bluetop-marine-starting-battery) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
