Finally pulled the trusty old Panasonic battery out of my CX-5 and replaced it with an Optima Yellowtop. When I buttoned everything up, I still had my radio stations and settings right where I left them.
Pros: settings remained intact
Vehicle:
Mazda
Buy a nice battery. I bought used 6 months ago and did a week of nightly research first, by FAR the biggest complaint was the battery going out or having constant low messages. I put a yellow top in mine a few days after getting it, not one issue this far.
Pros: no issues, reliable
I have an Optima Red Top battery in my 2006 Dodge Magnum that's at least 5 years old (probably older). It was heavily abused for years. Since then, this battery has been in my daily driver (5.7L V8), and it's still cranking strong with no issues.
Pros: cranking strong, no issues
Cons: heavily abused for years
Vehicle:
Dodge Magnum
I put an Optima Red Top in it when my tester showed it below 75% health, about a year ago.
Get the battery from the dealer. It lasts longer and has a 7 year warranty. The Optima Yellowtop died on me after 3 years.
Pros: lasts longer, 7 year warranty
Cons: died after 3 years
I bought an Optima Red Top battery for my van, but the part store accidentally got me the one with top mount terminals only instead of top and side like I requested.
Fwiw optima batteries have been garbage for the last 20 years.
Cons: garbage quality
Optima batteries are absolute trash for deep discharge use. Their quality is also not what it used to be. Anytime I see them in marine use, I swap them out for a proper AGM. Only thing they are decent at is starting applications in cars.
Pros: decent at starting cars
Cons: trash for deep discharge
I bought a red top.. in like 3 weeks it wasn't taking a charge and it got returned. Never again
Cons: wasn't taking a charge
