## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a good battery for my stock 05 chevy corvette. i have the optima red top in it now and it only lasted 2years. i dont drive yhe vett much**
A: I have a Lexus 2010 LS460 that I do not drive that much and for two years it has not missed a crank.  Great Battery.

**Q: Would this battery help out with the drain issues i'm having with after market alarms, gps and dashcam?**
A: Yes this battery is perfect for draining issues. I have a set of aftermarket fog lights that I left on by mistake overnight and 12° weather. If you are having  draining issues  due to electrical problems, you should still have them  checked out. My Subaru Forester started right up without any hesitation. I also have a sound system with amps and subs and no issues at all. This battery always has power on demand! Buy it.

**Q: will this battery fit my 2001 mazda protege sedan.**
A: No

**Q: Dodge ram 1500 4x4**
A: Optima batteries are not reliable, their customer support is non existent, they don't take phone calls they tell you to email them and maybe they will email you back in 2 days. I recommend staying away from Optima. Go with one of the other brands who provide support to their customers and make a reliable superior product.
