We have brought back some discharged Optima's, but the main problem is their lead plates don't hold up to rough use. I believe they are using a higher content of recycled lead, which is more brittle, leading to cell failure.

AGM.. it's starting to come back to me a little. i knew i got a few details wrong, and was going to edit my post, but decided it was better to just let you correct me on it
at one point, i had done a lot of looking into optima's and how they were different, understanding the battery topology to some extent. in the end, i realized that normal batteries work for all of my needs, and generally forgot everything i thought i needed to know about optima's other than how they separate additional monies from wallets.
