The History of Optima Batteries
Optima has been manufacturing some of the most well-known, most reliable and most technically advanced Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries on the market for over 40 years. Optima was the first to market to introduce maintenance-free lead-acid batteries for the US Military. Since then, Optima Batteries have become the battery of choice for enthusiasts around the world. Optima Batteries offers starting batteries for your car, truck, boat or RV and deep-cycle batteries to replace your boat's deep-cycle or RV house batteries.
How Are Optima Batteries Manufactured?
When you put all of your time and energy into one thing, it's going to be amazing. Clarios, a world leader in energy solutions, has a manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico that makes one thing and only one thing; Optima batteries. All day, every day, the Optima team and all of the equipment in the facility are dedicated to the research, development, and manufacturing of Optima batteries.
