I am entertaining an Optima Yellow Top this time. It's $339, for reference, and I have a feeling it will outlast/outperform the OEM.
I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'
My old car had an Optima Red Top in it for 10 years and never had a battery issue- but again, sitting on a tender most of the time.
Personally, I have a fondness for Optima batteries, particularly the Yellow Top, in any vehicle where there are a lot of accessories to run, though I have a Red Top in my daily driver.
I don't know, but I just bought an Optima Red Top battery with a three year waranty sold at a store that has a store in every city.
I use optima. Highly recommend it too
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.
Haven't been impressed with the quality of optima over the last 5ish years.
Have two red tops in my 05 GMC. Sneaky suspicion one is bad. They were new when I got the truck six years ago.
Went to start truck after sitting five days and it was dead. Meter showed 12.1 and it charged in an hour which is very fast. Truck would turn over but not run. Checked charge again, primary at 12.4 and secondary at 12.7. Swapped places and truck starts, runs, all accessories work now.
Stay away from optima batteries unless your car specifies an AGM battery because they can be very problematic.
