- Description
-
- One solution for a variaty of problems and
applications.
- Until OPTIMA, no one battery could offer so many benefits to
solve so many automotive battery problems and fit so many
applications, such as:
- Aircraft ground support equipment * Automobiles (gasoline and
diesel) * Automotive sound systems * Boats * Delivery truck fleets
Diesel engines & generators * Emergency vehicles * Farm
Equipment 4-wheel & off-road vehicles * Military vehicles *
Pick-up trucks Racing vehicles * Snowmobiles * Vintage &
classic vehicles
- Tomorrow's battery technology is here today.
- Today's sophisticated, power-hungry vehicles have out-paced
the batteries whose technology hasn't changed much in the past 150
years. Today's vehicles need a battery that can stand up to the
heavy power demands, key-off electrical drain, climatic extremes,
and rough treatment to which they are subjected.
- Today's vehicles need tomorrow's battery - the OPTIMA battery
- available NOW!
- More power for faster, crisper starts - and a longer
life.
- With 800 Cold Cranking Amps, the OPTIMA delivers more starting
power than any conventional battery of its size.
- What's more, the OPTIMA keeps delivering performance longer -
as much as 3 to 5 times the life of a conventional battery. In SAE
tests, ordinary batteries had a life span of about 4,000 starts,
while the OPTIMA lasted from 9,000 to 12,000 starts!
- Because of its significantly longer service life, the OPTIMA
is much more economical!
- It doesn't look like an ordinary battery because it
isn't.
- Beneath the distinctive OPTIMA exterior is the most advanced
battery ever created. The key to OPTIMA's longer life and superior
performance is its unique, patented Spiralcell Technology that
eliminates "free" acid and the problems that go with it. The
result is, quite simply, the most amazing, sealed lead-acid,
starved-electrolyte battery in the world today - and tomorrow.
- Vibration-caused failures are a thing of the past.
- Vibration, impact, and jolting are some of the leading causes
of battery failure. In an OPTIMA, there are no flat lead plates
that can strike each other and shed their lead oxide coating. The
OPTIMA's Spiralcell design means the OPTIMA is virtually
unaffected by vibration that can kill ordinary battery plates.
- In grueling SAE tests, the OPTIMA kept working after being
subjected to vibrations up to 5G for 12 hours, while ordinary
batteries suffered severe damage after just four hours!
- The Optima goes to extremes to deliver more dependable
starts.
- Whether you need a battery to provide quick starts in arctic
conditions or in the desert, OPTIMA delivers time after time. Even
at temperatures of 0 degrees F (-18 degrees C), the OPTIMA puts
out no less than 800 Cold Cranking Amps - one of the highest
ratings in the world for a battery its size. And the OPTIMA will
deliver very high CCAs even down to -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C)!
- Extreme heat can shorten a battery's life, but the OPTIMA is
virtually unaffected by heat. It's the one battery you can count
on, no matter where you are.
- Smash it, crack it, break it, flip it. No acid leakes
ever.
- No battery is safer than the OPTIMA. Ordinary batteries are
filled with liquid sulfuric acid that can leak and become
hazardous if the battery casing is cracked or broken.
- With the OPTIMA, the acid is absorbed within a fiberglass
material so it can't leak or spill. An OPTIMA can even be operated
upside-down in the passenger compartment without any risk of
leakage. And hydrogen gas can't build up inside the OPTIMA to
cause an explosion, even when severely overcharged.
- Longer shelf life, lower rate of discharge.
- Persons with seasonal or infrequently used vehicles, such as
farm equipment, boats, snowmobiles, and vintage cars, appreciate
the fact that the OPTIMA springs to life quickly, usually without
recharging - even after months of non-use.
- In fact, an OPTIMA can sit unused for up to two years without
any appreciable loss of performance.
- The first and only zero-maintenance battery.
- With a conventional battery, the electrolyte level always
needs to be checked and topped off when necessary. Also leaking
acid can cause corrosion on terminals, cables, connections, and
electronic components.
- The OPTIMA is a completely-sealed recombinant system without
"free" liquid acid, which means corrosion can't form and there is
no need to ever add water.
- The state-of-the-art battery is built in a state-of-the-art
facility.
- A brand-new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility was built
in 1995 in Aurora, Colorado, to ensure that OPTIMA will be able to
satisfy the growing world-wide demand for this revolutionary power
source.
- Originally created in the early 1970s by engineers at Denver's
Gates Rubber Company, the OPTIMA battery and its patents were
acquired by the Gylling Group of Scandinavia in 1992.
- Building an OPTIMA battery is a highly unique, time-consuming,
and technically complex operation, requiring stringent quality
control methods at every stage of the manufacturing process.
