Advance Auto Parts are the good guys.
After only seven days it's impossible to give a meaningful opinion on any properly functioning product. However, what I can say on the positive side is as follows: First of all, the service at the store was absolutely excellent, including the free installation and verification that the battery had been installed securely. Second, I like the price - it was the best battery for the money that I could find. On the somewhat negative side, the Advance Auto battery is significantly smaller physically than my old battery even though is has similar features. Only time will tell if this will be a problem. With the three year warranty I'm rather optimistic. And I do like Advance Auto's policy of a full replacement if the battery fails during the warranty period. The only truly negative aspect of my purchase is that your web site said that this battery would not fit my car. It fits fine. For anyone needing a new battery, I strongly suggest that check the spacing and cable lengths in their car before making a purchase. This misleading "information" on your web site is the only reason I gave the battery, i.e., Advance Auto, four stars instead of five. I've bought from Advance Auto before and always left there very satisfied.

Be careful on this one - Jury still out
Was on the fence getting a new battery because my old one was needing replaced "in the next few months". I thought better to be safe than sorry so bought this battery and had Advance install for free. I had this battery for about 5 days and went to car after work and car would not start. Called AAA and they came out and jumped me. Tested alternator and starter and battery. Said battery was bad cell. After the jump, I drove straight to Advance and they replaced it no problem but they did say it could be parasitic drain. I highly doubt that. Just a bad battery. However, if it goes kaflooey again in the next 30 days, then maybe. So after about a 90-minute delay getting home due to jump, go to Advance, etc. all is well. Would've liked Advance to offer me something for the time spent messing around. I got the new battery to be "safe over sorry" and here I was stranded at work.

Good, but issues

I generally use Interstate as I've had very good luck with them. No choice and Diehard was the next best option. Slightly more expensive than the interstate, but that lasted 6-7 years. We'll see how this does. The one problem was the terminals are slightly smaller, so the clamps don't tighten enough. Did a little McGiver'ing and now it's snug.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
I have bought the same battery before!

Hi Shawn, I'm glad to help you! This DieHard Gold Battery, Group Size 124R, 700 CCA (Part # 124R-2) is an exact fit for your 2008 Kia Optima LX. The most common reasons a Kia Optima won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter. However, without the presence of your vehicle we would not be able to properly diagnose it, nor provide you with a 100% answer. I would suggest that you take your vehicle and get it thoroughly checked by a certified mechanic before buying any parts that may/may not solve the problem.
