I have two on my dually and my little girl watches movies in it all the time at car shows with the stereo up with 3 12"s, 2 amps, mids and highs, and at the end of the day I can get in and start it right up no problem.
just my 2cents
I had an Optima fail after ~12 months (edit: just double checked, it was around 12 months)
When I looked under the hood, the battery case was partially warped, like it was baked in an oven.
I took it back to the Napa store I bought it form, owner said I had to take it up with optima.
I called optima and they said to take it back to the store, after 2 more B.S. run arounds, I said f##k it and bought a new Duralaat battery from Autozone. it's been 4 years now, and that battery is still good!

ps I never shop at napa ever again, even if it is closer to me, I rather drive further to the Autozone
screw nappa and screw optima
