Optima Deep Cycle Marine Battery Review

Optima batteries are some of the most durable on the market. An Optima RV battery or an Optima boat battery will last you season after season, and through the toughest climate and punishment that you can put it through.

Optima batteries are produced with quality in mind. The material and manufacture of these deep cycle marine batteries is overseen by Optima's quality control. Though the price is higher, you get what you pay for.

Deep Cycle Optima Battery Features

There are three key factors that make this product worthwhile:

1. You can drain the battery, and not have to worry about it coming back to life
2. The optima deep cycle marine or rv battery will take heavy abuse, withstand more vibration than standard deep cycle batteries
3. The battery is sealed, meaning you don't have to worry about the angle of the battery during use. You can turn your boat, or drive your RV on inclined angles, sustain jolts and shocks that would spill most liquid acid deep cycle batteries and you will not lose the battery acid inside.

Because of these features, along with Optima's known quality and durability, you're getting a rv battery or boat battery that will last you for years and years.

Optima Battery Flavors

You can get Optima batteries in a few different flavours. The color of the top is indication of it's intended use. Deep cycles are blue. There are also red and yellow.

The red top is like other batteries, and is intended for starting your car. It won't let you run your accessories without the engine, lest you run the risk of draining the battery and reducing its' lifespan.

The yellow top is somewhere in the middle. It functions like a deep cycle marine, but also works well just for those looking for a solid battery to start their engines.

All of these batteries are sealed, which is an advantage if you're going to use your battery in offroad applications. They will all hold a charge longer than most standard batteries as well.

If you need a battery for your boat or rv, choose the blue top deep cycle marine from Optima. It's going to last you the longest and really take some punishment.

I have had this Blue Top battery a year now, it holds a charge way longer than I thought it would, even longer than the last battery I had which was twice it's size.
