The Optimas are great batteries. They're AGM batteries and hold more and last longer than flooded. But you pay a lot more for them. You also need to make sure your charger supports AGM, usually there is a small switch.

One note about the new smart chargers. I could not charge my very dead battery with my battery tender or smart Shumacher charger. I had to charge it with an old school charger until it had enough voltage for the smart charger to work.
Maybe you can bring your optima back to life?
