im thinking of buying an Optima batterie and would like to know if you guys think they are worth getting.
i have 2 10in subs in the car and the lights dim when i put the clutch in, would an optima help fix that? sometimes, on a warm day, my car will hesitate to start. it only happens when i shut the car off, and then try to turn it back on again. im thinking that it happens because my subs, indiglo, fake hids, are draining the batterie. would the optima help with this issue too ? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

thanks for the help klaus, yea i usually would unplug the terminal, but i was working on the car during the winter and needed the power on to test some things, so i just left it hooked up, bad mistake, battery is dead now.
