Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.
Pros: handles cold well
Vehicle:

A lot of people say the Optima is not a good battery anymore, but I continue to have good luck with them.
Pros: good reliability
I use an Optima Yellow Top battery and it made a big difference. The Yellow Top is honestly just good for the car in general.
Pros: made a big difference, good for car
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Outlander
I’ve got Optima batteries in some of the more “Special” cars.
Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.
Pros: handle discharge cycles
Vehicle:
Kia
I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.
Cons: battery completely drained
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I purchased one because of my car stereo upgrade, thinking it would be a better choice. Within a few weeks, I noticed that my cranking was slow and labored. It is almost seven months later, and I find myself having to randomly jump-start my car. Note: At first, I was concerned that my audio amps were not turning off properly and checked to confirm that everything was off. I think I may need to go with a different solution now.
Cons: cranking was slow, labored
I went through 2 of them in my Corvette. The last one was making sizzling noises after I needed a jump from a 200 amp battery jumper. The top of the battery was meled,.Not worth the money. Never again!!!
Cons: went through 2, sizzling noises
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
my Optima Red Top failed after 2 years & 7 months. this is the last time I'll buy one.
Cons: failed quickly, short lifespan
