Message	So another Optima has died on me. It is 4 years old, but it has yielded no advantage over a standard battery that cost a lot less. I've been wanting to try a lightweight battery for a while. Thought I would ask for experience of those who have already done this. Opinions on performance and value? src="http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj168/btskaggs/IphonepicsJuly1 0094.jpg" border="0" alt="Dynorun">
