I use an Optima yellow top, and it's about 5 years old, and Cobra is the second car it's been installed in. The alternator is a 95A 3G. I also use a "Battery Butler" float charger, but the battery seems to hold its charge very well, and seldom needs it. This past winter, I forgot to connect the float charger, and after about three weeks, plugged it in. The charger indicated it was charging for about a minute, then went on its standby mode. This tells me that the Optima was still fully charged even after sitting for three weeks.
