Battery OPTIMA or AC DELCO

My replacement was a Blue Top 34M and it's 8 years old. No issues with Optima here.

I've had great luck with the Optima Yellow Top DS46B24R for Gen2.

I've run Optima red tops for years and never had a problem.

Ended up finding a red top in the back of the store at Advanced (34R with 800CCA). If you go with Optima know that it takes some modification with the wiring. I needed to remove a cable tie and relocate one of the positive leads. Outback started right up and is running great.

I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well

I put in ACDelco and surprisingly it lasted till last week (Aug 2024).

The optimas (red top) I got in 2019 are still going. They are not the best though just better than liquid.

Replaced battery in my 2012 Chrysler 200 - after being in car 12 years - yes original battery - bought car off show room floor. Replaced with AC Delco 580 CCA - as per manufactures specs - exactly 2 months to the date - battery absolutely DEAD !!!!!!

Optimas don’t seem to hold up any better than the AGM from the parts store.

Optoma are shit nowadays anyway.
