Inside the unique shell of the OPTIMA battery is a radically superior internal design. The structure of conventional batteries lead plates hanging in pools of acid requires those lead plates to provide their own structural support. To accomplish this, the lead is diluted with high percentages of inert stiffening metals that rob those conventional batteries of performance.
The unique engineering concept of the OPTIMA battery uses long thin layers of lead wound into tight spiral cells. Because they're tightly supported on all sides by high strength cylindrical cell casings, the lead ribbons of the OPTIMA battery aren't required to provide structural strength, so they can be made from high-purity, high-performance lead. This translates into dramatically lower internal resistance and higher output at temperature extremes. OPTIMA batteries can be fully recharged in about an hour, twice as fast as conventional batteries. They also can sit unused four times longer than other batteries, losing less than half a volt in over 6 months of nonuse.
An absorbent glass mat, alternating with the layers of lead, holds electrolyte in contact with the OPTIMA batteries greater lead surface area. This laminated construction provides far more active surface area in the OPTIMA battery. It also supports a thicker layer of plate paste, for prolonged service life typically half again to twice the life of conventional batteries. This technology is called "AGM" for "Absorbed Glass Mat" and it is a major advance in battery design.
OPTIMA BATERIES revolutionary Spiralcell® design produces more power and
increased energy, resulting in fast, reliable starts even in extreme conditions.
Because OPTIMA is the only battery with Spiralcell construction, no other battery offers OPTIMA batteries combination of performance and reliability in land and marine applications. OPTIMA BATTERIES deliver power!

Charger Info Link | Warranty Info Link Optima batteries don't require a battery box for acid containment because they don't leak. |
Table Notes: 1Amp Hours = Amp output sustainable for 20 hours before dropping to 10.5 volt recharge level, multiplied by 20. More explanation here. 2At all temperatures, Optima® batteries can discharge far higher amperage during the first critical seconds of demand compared to conventional batteries. In difficult conditions, this provides the rapid spin required to start engines quickly when conventional batteries with equal or greater CA or CCA merely crank without firing engine. 3Reserve Minutes = number of minutes battery will maintain 25 amps output before dropping to 10.5 volts. More explanation here. |
Recharge when batteries
drop to 10.5 volt state of charge (or before.) Note: Optima batteries will
never develop capacity-robbing "charge memory."

Blue Top Optima Batteries |
OPTIMA Yellow
Top and OPTIMA Blue Top battery models are the power source of choice for
deep-cycle power needs. Compared to conventional batteries, voltage output from
an Optima battery is more uniform across the discharge curve, more deep cycles
are tolerated, and they can be mounted in any position with zero corrosion and
zero leaks. They recharge faster than conventional batteries, and typically
deliver 1.5 - 2x the service life. Yellow Top Optima Batteries and Blue
Top Optima batteries also offer excellent performance as starter batteries for dual-purpose
applications. Call us to order the premium power source for heavy
cycling applications. With free shipping and no handling fees, prices quoted
are your total delivered cost!**

Note: Performance between models D34/78, D34, and D34M is identical. The difference
between between those batteries is the post style. Performance between models D31T, D31A and D31M is identical. The difference between those batteries is the post style. Optima Blue Top batteries are colored blue for marine battery applications but work equally well in non-marine uses. |
