Anyone had any quality issues with Optima batteries produced in the last year or so?

Is there another battery out there that's as good as an Optima?
I had one in my 39 Pontiac but it didn't want to stay charged last spring. I had to replace it at my expense as we had moved and I had lost the receipt for it. It was only 2 years old.
I went back to a lead acid at half the cost.
