Our take on the Optima DH6 Deep Cycle Battery 800 CCA 12V

The Optima DH6 is a 12V absorbed glass mat (AGM) deep-cycle battery rated at 800 cold cranking amps and about 72 amp-hours. Its spiral-cell AGM design resists vibration and can be deeply discharged and recharged many times, which suits winches, trolling motors, auxiliary power and vehicles with heavy electrical loads. Compared with flooded deep-cycle batteries it costs more and needs an AGM-compatible charger, but it is sealed, spill-proof and mounts in more positions. Owners value its cranking punch and durability; some report shorter life when it is left deeply discharged or charged with the wrong equipment.

Questions and answers

Is the Optima DH6 a starting battery or a deep-cycle battery?
It is a dual-purpose deep-cycle AGM battery. Its 800 CCA rating lets it start large engines, and its spiral-cell design also supports repeated discharge for accessories.
Can I use a regular battery charger on it?
Use a charger with an AGM setting. Standard flooded-battery charging can overcharge or undercharge it and shorten its life.
How does it compare with a flooded deep-cycle battery?
It costs more but is sealed, spill-proof, vibration-resistant and can be mounted in more positions. Flooded batteries are cheaper but need maintenance and venting.
What is it best used for?
Winches, trolling motors, dual-battery and auxiliary power setups, and vehicles with high electrical loads. It also works as a main starting battery in trucks and SUVs.
Does it fit standard battery trays?
It uses a group size common to many trucks and SUVs, but check your vehicle's tray dimensions and terminal layout before buying.
