Pros: Much smaller and lighter than OE battery
Cons: Cant add water to help it out and get home if it dies

I just bought it, it was a easy to put in even though I had to figure out which adapter I needed to use myself because there was no instructions. For those of you that do buy one for your Ex or Mounty, you need the thinner adapter. It was definately lighter than the battery that I replaced it with and more room for air to circulate under the hood can't hurt either.

Pros: Long lasting, Powerful, Clean
Cons: High initial price

I've had great luck with my Optima Red Tops. The longest I've had one in a vehicle was 6 years at which time I pulled it an replaced it just as a preventative measure. I use the old battery around the house for 12v needs. It's now 8 years old and still holds a full charge with no problem
