I had a couple of Optimas back in the early 00’s that I took from truck to truck to truck. I had a couple of them for about 10 years. they used to be nearly indestructible.
Pros: long lifespan, nearly indestructible
My 09 yellow top just bit the dust. I was able to get it charged back above 13v but it's so old I didn't want to risk it with winter coming.
Pros: long lifespan
Cons: failed, old
Got my yellow top in my 2000 subaru forester still going good 4 years up north where it gets cold
Pros: good in cold, long lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My old Celica was at 11 years of daily on a Yellow Top, including at least 3x when it sat to dead and recharged just fine. When I got a new car and stopped driving it, it only lasted another 6 months of infrequent driving after that.
Pros: long lifespan, recharged fine
Cons: short lifespan with infrequent driving
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
I had a yellow top that lasted me through 3 cars and over 12 years. I sold it with one of my cars. Those were the good ole days where they actually were decent.
Pros: long lifespan, decent quality
The battery is an Optima Yellowtop 5.5 75h, I changed it in 2018. It has central poles and the negative pole near the windshield. Now given the very high prices of the Optimas and since their lifespan disappointed me, I wanted to get a cheaper battery.
Cons: disappointing lifespan, high prices
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
Cons: short lifespan
I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.
Cons: bad cells, short lifespan
I got stuck getting an optima for my truck because the one that was in it literally exploded.
Cons: literally exploded
