Not today but a few days ago I got rid of the depleted Optima and installed a Universal group 24 in the engine compartment.
I spent four days in the GSMNP and just used the Universal for the first three days. I used the mattress warmer two nights plus all of the other stuff. With the 75 amphrs instead of the 55 it worked great. I drew it down to 60% then went to the other set up. I didn't want to pull it down further on it's first draw down.
One thing I'll say no more Optimas for me...
