I bought a Optima (smallest red top) about 4 years ago & I was disappointed at how quickly it discharges in my Box here in SoCA. Needs recharging after sitting 4 days unlocked alarm off in my garage. When my IS350 oem battery (Panasonic AGM) died after 5 years I decided to swap the Optima to the IS350. I called Costco to inquire about warrant exchange while I had the Optima was out. Costco said they would exchange it but they did not have any & did not expect any for a least 2 months. This was about 10 months ago. The Optima works fine in the IS350 & never sits more than 2 days & the Odessey680 performs a little better in my Box & weighs about 12lbs less including the alum bracket. The Odessey has sat for 3 months in the Box with Porsche Maintainer on it during my Cayman airbox/suspension overhaul so I will report back if it has any issues in a couple weeks.
