whats the longest a red top optima battery can sit standing before it dies with ot charge or goes bad??

 

Lots of variables there....

I had one that just sat in the garage for about a year. When then one in my truck died, I dropped it in and it fired right up. If it's fully charged and stored correctly, it will probably be able to sit for a long time. If it's going to be in a vehicle, then disconnect it to prevent any trickle drain.

 

i had my red top optima in my cavalier , i traded the car in during June 08' and kept the battery and put a cheap battery in the car, ive had the battery sitting in my house (in the closet on carpet since )

 

Charge it every few weeks and it will last for years

 

so really need to get a trickle charge or something if i dont get it put in my hhr soon..

 

Have you tried to fit it in the HHR?? Didn't think that Optima made one that would fit........
