The 55aH is the deal breaker for me, I know Optima are top quality batteries but capacity is one of main reasons for house batteries. I had a boat that came with 2 of the Optimas, I believe they were the Red tops and they were GREAT never an issue, but they were used mainly for starting, one was a backup. I never worried about running extended periods of time off my batteries while on the boat. My new boat has 2 Interstates but with the disconnect switches and I love it. No corrosion no mess.

These optimas are about 12 lbs lighter than my existing NAPAs Group 31 on RV, and the Group 29 Everstart is about 2 lbs lighter. Even so no way I pay $500 plus for the Optimum. If I was going to spend $400 and up, I would actually consider the 6VC batteries.

You couldnt find "re-portability"!?!? Well small wonder, it only exists in the figments of my imaganation. Would you belive "reported" maybe
