My situation was different I realize, but I can't understand why Optima wouldn't honor the warranty in the example above? Amazon must sell a gazillion of them so this had to come up over and over...
Did you get to keep the original "damaged" one?
I would guess this is a case of the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
