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

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
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
Cons: short lifespan
ive got my early 2000's redtop it still sits at 12 but it gets alarmingly hot when in use, best battery ever, over 10 cars

Cons: gets alarmingly hot
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.

Agree with all that has been said! My battery crapped out on my 2020 outback recently. Immediately put in a non-OEM brand. Optima to be specific. Couldn\u2019t be happier.
