My Optima AGMs recharge very, very fast. Yes, the initial cost is higher than wet cell batteries but well worth it, IMHO.
Optima is a special class.. For any given "Footprint" (Size class) they have less capacity due to the sprial design,, IN theory it's like 73 percent, in practice as low as 60 percent,,, and they cost still more. Just so you know.. Try Lifeline when you replace them.
That said, if you are putting them in physically rough service (Wave Runner, 4-Runner et=al) They are the way to go. That is what they are designed for.. The "Slam over the ruts and send for your kidneys later" kind of service.
