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
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 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.
IMO, the Optima Yellow top is your only option. It will last 5-10 Years.
Pros: last 5-10 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.
Absolutely not true. I use an Optima battery, works great. Have for a few years now since my 2nd garbage oem battery went out. Or was it the 3rd?
Pros: works great
Vehicle:
Subaru

Pros: works fine
Vehicle:
