It all depends on what kind of charger you use. Oddesey batteries say that the charger should be between 14 and 15 volts on output, and they have a specific time and amperage for charging. See if Optima has a website with that kind of information.

i had the red top optima and the only way I could get mine to charge is at 12 A 12V on the charger. I had to let it sit half a day. But definetly have the battery checked out because they are not meant to be recharged multiple times. On the 3rd recharge my battery started leaking acid and fumes came out. Good thing sears will exchange anything.
