Looks like they'd be great for those of us in earthquake country. http://www.optimabatteries.com/

Lots of Subaru owners have had good experiences with Optimas. A couple of threads at NASIOC:

The car forum I frequent (www.tdiclub.com) also has great things to say about them. I'll be getting an Optima when my OEM VW battery dies.

Has anyone adapted their Optima to a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee? I checked the Optima website and they don't have a model for my Jeep.

They are good stuff... gonna put em in both vehicles once the batterys start going!

They have an 8 year warranty, replacement... not sure if you can get em pro rated. Mount em anywhere upside down etc. Dont gas... and for the most part vibration resistant!

Good luck!

I've heard only good things about them on more than one VW Baja site. Supposed to be very hardy. If I had the cash, I'd probably have one.

Optima does not make a battery that fits exactly into your Jeep, but many have put one in and added brackets to help it fit. For more information than you ever wanted on this topic and everything else Jeep, check out www.jeepsunlimited.com. You can do a search for "Optima" and you should find what you're looking for.
