        Installing an OPTIMA Blue Top high-performance AGM battery in your boat or RV means more running time and up to 3 times more recharges than what you'd get out of a traditional battery. It's perfect for boats with electric trolling motors, on-board electronics or stereo systems and RV's with "creature comforts" that tend to drain batteries quickly. In addition to providing weight savings and outstanding vibration resistance, the Blue Top's efficient power delivery and faster recharge time mean you'll spend less time worrying about your battery. The OPTIMA Blue Top is ideal for those who need a sure-starting, strong cranking, maintenance-free power source.
