Default Optima comes through!!!

Some time ago I made a post about a leaking Optima battery and this is just a follow-up.

They had the battery shipped back to them from the retailer for inspection and to be honest I expected a denial. Turns out it had been cracked in shipment.

It's refreshing to see a company stand behind their product, and treat their customers honestly. They certainly will get my recommendations!

To Optima!!!

That's good to hear!!! Glad it worked out for the best.

Also brings my confidence level back up on Optima's.
I have a Red Top in my C5.

I don't mind paying a little extra when a company backs up their product
like this! When the time comes I'll be looking at Optima for replacement
of my stock battery!

Yep. It took a while because the retailer drug his feet shipping the battery back to Milwaukee, but they found a crack in it and called me today.

Very impressive the way they stood behind their product.

Glad to hear it. I just bought a red top. I'll look it over before I put it in. :

So, was it a red top or yellow? Did it match your BSM's?
If the "Optima" van drives by, will you wave?

Seriously, way to go!

That's cool about Optima. I just bought a red top and I made sure to check it before putting it in the car because I remembered your post.

I also enjoyed reading on it the fact that it is 100% made in the USA.
