I run yellowtops in my car and truck and the truck is going on 5 years now and still kicking.
Pros: long lifespan
I have have good luck bringing sulfated Optimas to my local Interstate Battery. They’ve brought several back from the dead for me and they went on to last a very long time.
Pros: last a very long time
I got a red top optima, put the subaru battery blanket on it. Good down to -10f.
Pros: good in cold weather
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Optima Red Top has been treating me well.
Pros: treating me well
I like AGM batteries. Using optimas now, whenever these finally die I'll try another brand. 4 years in now and I can't notice any loss of capacity yet. They work amazing when it is like 0 degrees F, too.
Pros: no loss of capacity
If you do need one, optima is pretty good but expensive.????
Pros: pretty good
Cons: expensive
I have a VR6 swap that Sal at S&P did for me and we used an Optima Red Top.
I've had an Optima battery for several years. Still cranks my G20 van as if were brand new.????
Pros: cranks as brand new
I run optimas because of the extreme temps here. Can be -40 outside and over 120 in the summers. They've been great for my old 454 powered truck.
Pros: great for extreme temps
