When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.
Cons: many warranty claims
I personally don't care for optima.
Cons: personally dislike
When I was running two amps 2 12s eight speakers inside head unit capacitor and a built motor I use the yellow top with good success
Pros: good success
I killed two of those, never buying again.
Cons: killed two, poor reliability
I bought an optima just because it and it's custom hold down looked cool. Unfortunately I let it sit with no tender for over a year and it discharged almost completely. I've been able to nurse it back and it is functioning at this time, but not sure it will hold a charge. We will see. I'm happy with it otherwise.
Pros: looks cool, functioning currently
Cons: discharged completely, uncertain charge hold
Your alternator probably just shit the bed. Was on its last of its life then the added \"stress\" of a stereo system made it kill itself.
Pros: handles stereo system
Cons: short alternator life
Anyway I know people talk a lot of crap about them but I use Optima batteries in anything that can fit them. Mainly because I have a bunch of cars and many of them sit around. Its nice to know that if the battery dies I can condition and recharge it and get back to normal and not worry.
Pros: can condition and recharge
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
I am entertaining an Optima Yellow Top this time. It's $339, for reference, and I have a feeling it will outlast/outperform the OEM.
Pros: outlast/outperform the OEM
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'
Pros: great and expensive
Cons: misnomer 'dry cell'
