Any idea how this battery performs in a car that is only used once a month? I read that it performs better than a redtop Optima in this area. Thx

I don't know how to compare to a redtop. I have a yellow top. It is the best battery that I have ever had. Even so, it runs down due the electronics, security system, within two weeks. best to disconnect the battery when leaving it for a long time. Amazon sells a side post battery disconnect wrench.

I have left mine for a month at a time and it has held a full charge, no problems!

I would say if I am using my laptop to full capacity (streaming video, using high brightness levels, running multiple programs etc.), I get roughly over an hour give or take 15 min from 100% to 20%. I would say it's not as good as the new battery when I got it in 2011, but I am satisfied with it's performance overall. Just use energy saver settings and I think you'll find it's a solid replacement battery, in my opinion.

this battery only lasted a couple of months. It is compatible, but not strong enough or something. Whatever it is about the battery problem on these toshiba computers,I have not came up with a solution. This is my 3rd battery. I gave up and bought another laptop. Not a toshiba,even though I liked its performance,when working/

I have had the battery less than a month. It is great so far. I would recommend that you find someone who has had the battery over a year. That is when my previous third-party battery from another company failed despite not being recharged much.

Well, I used it in our relatively short growing season in Northern Michigan, and just about to break it out again. I will say that last Fall, after I no longer needed it the battery stopped charging, but they are sending me a replacement since I called in the problem last week.That said, it performs great. Battery lasts maybe a half-hour at full speed, but that's all I need.

We went to our local Battery Plus store and they built us a better battery at about the same cost as the ones we found online. It was local and guaranteed for a year. It has been running for about two years with no problem and wife uses it almost everyday.

Yea, I noticed the same thing. I got a unit in September and a month later in October I had to replace the battery. I thought that perhaps the original unit sat on the shelf for a while and that the battery was bad. Unfortunately the weather turned for the worse since October so I have not used it since and I do not know how this next battery is going to hold up.

My battery is still working fine. I only use it about every two weeks. I've only had it a few months.

Mine replaced a 12 18amp hour battery...works well. Mine is in a formula race car, so It's not driven every day like a motorcycle or ATV. I bought mostly for the weight savings, but it's a great little battery. Hope this helps

I found that this battery performed as good or better than I expected.I've only had it for one season.I would definitely buy another one if I need to do so.

I got this on Aug 2013, and now it is only 6 monthes or so, and I use it not daily, but once--weekly, so the battery is still good, not 30mins, over 1 hr no problem. never measure it.

Only Battery I use is Optima "Yellow top" longer life designed specifically for electronic applications and many charge/discharge cycles. It is very expensive, but you will be glad you bought it. My first one lasted 19 years. That's more than 4 conventional batteries.Blue top is for boating, red top automotive. Some peeps like a huge capacity by going with multiples of 6 volt. But this is the simple fix.

This is a great battery for your truck. Bought it for my son and it makes a huge difference. Truck is faster and runs x3 as long. For the price it is worth getting 2 batteries. Great for days when you take your Traxxas to the race track. If you are going to take the time to drive somewhere you have hot to make the best of your time. Don't even own the original battery. Life span so short it is not even worth charging

Sorry don't know if you can use that battery but I use one in my Lamborghini and ups drive time and performance, but not sure in your use.A very good battery, check size and connection. Jeffbryson7@yahoo

I haven't had it long enough to know if it is months, but Lithium Ion batteries have very good shelf life in general. If you are talking about as a back-up for a phone, the fact that it gives 5-6 charges means that even if you lost 20-30% over a couple of months you would still have several charges. Over the weeks that it has sat in our house it hasn't lost even 25% (still reads 4 bars). Storing in a hot environment will degrade the life of the battery so I would recommend against storing it in a hot vehicle where temps can reach 110 or more over the summer.
