Fyi, if you have an optima that your about to give up on take it to an Interstate battery shop and have them charge it. I use to take pallets of blue tops to them that techs deamed dead and about 98% of them were still good.
By shop I mean an actual Interstate battery wholesale shop. Not an auto shop that sells interstate.

As stated in the info above. If the battery has been sitting completely dead for much of any time it will likely not come back. So if you've got one sitting the in garage dead for 2 years it most likely won't bring it back.
