Battery OPTIMA or Bosch
Yuasa are high quality. I generally get Bosch S4 or S5 as they've never let me down.
I just installed mine recently and works great. Just keep in mind it's an AGM battery.
And yet my 2008 VW had a Bosch battery out the factory ????♂️.
Fucking thing lasted 10 years or so though. So credit to Bosch for that one!
My car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.
The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.
I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.
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.
I used an Optima, never again.
my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
