Optima almost twice the price of a cheapie battery. Why not buy 2 cheapies instead of one optima?

the B6 is already heavy as is. Will 30lb really make a difference? Also is Optima better at long
cycles. Meaning if I only start the car once a week, will it last longer?

You are right. Just make sure you also compare the manufacturer warranty terms and the specs.
You want to make sure you're comparing apples-to-apples when looking at price.
Some guys buy the Optima's to get a lighter weighing battery.
Optima's have a better warranty than most and usually a higher reserve capacity rating which is what I was looking for.
Your previous post has the Optima specifications for their batteries.
Do your research and go with what you want at what price you want to pay.

I put one in the A4 and love it. Much lighter - and that weight is up high too.
