    Just put a charger on it for at least 8 hours, at 4 amps....

    That's they battery everyone is complaining about, at least on here.
    They're made a lot cheaper then the yused to be. And it cost more.

    Which battery is everyone complaining about?
    The link I shared with the Optiima battery or the oem truestart battery (interstate)?

    Oh, didn’t realize there were issues with the Optima battery either. Thought it would be superior compared to the oem battery. Thanks for the heads up.

    The original oem 12 volt battery that came with my car was better than the Truestart battery I have now.

    it lasted 7 years before I replaced it and never drained out on me.

    Wonder when that changed? My Truestart battery I bought about a year ago is a Yuasa one. Maybe I lucked out?
