I work for the company that owns Optima. The Optima charger or a Battery tender. I have always used yellow tops in my race car and trailer. I used a Battery Tender 5amp charger. If you charge it over night you will be good to go. If you have an alternator you can race a whole nat. or div. race without touching it. If you use a big sears charger just watch the voltage.
Is any charger that is rated for AGM good to use on Optima batteries?
