The unique engineering concept of the OPTIMA battery uses long thin layers of lead wound into tight spiral cells. Because they're tightly supported on all sides by high strength cylindrical cell casings, the lead ribbons of the OPTIMA battery aren't required to provide structural strength, so they can be made from high-purity, high-performance lead. This translates into dramatically lower internal resistance and higher output at temperature extremes. OPTIMA batteries can be fully recharged in about an hour, twice as fast as conventional batteries. They also can sit unused four times longer than other batteries, losing less than half a volt in over 6 months of nonuse. Press the easy button, enjoy a cold one and think of another project that might be more fruitful. hope this helps, Lionel

I just bought a small solar trickle charge system off the internet for $25, included shipping. Bring your batteries up to full charge before you leave and hook up the solar trickle charger. When you return the batteries will be fine.
