Optoma are shit nowadays anyway.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).
Cons: high dead battery rate
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
Think my optima red top is about to give out, it's draining down overnight in the cold
Cons: draining overnight, giving out
Vehicle:

When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.
Pros: hanging in there
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I used an Optima, never again.
Cons: not recommended
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them
Cons: won't hold charge, short lifespan
I've never had a problem with one
Pros: no problems
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
