Hrp: Optima. Best batteries out there. Have only had 2 since 2001! Red top, yellow and blue. Red should be sufficient unless you've got mega stereo. 800 watts.
I've been running a red top Optima for about four years now and no complaints.
I know some people love to shit on Optima but my yellow top is still kickin at 10 years old. Been run to the ground a couple of times over the years and the slow charger brings it right back.
I run yellowtops in my car and truck and the truck is going on 5 years now and still kicking.
I have have good luck bringing sulfated Optimas to my local Interstate Battery. They’ve brought several back from the dead for me and they went on to last a very long time.
I got a red top optima, put the subaru battery blanket on it. Good down to -10f.
The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.
my 2009 had an optima and it only lasted 2 years
I have only had poor luck with optimas
At 126,000 miles in 2016, we had the battery replaced with an Optima yellow top dry battery. It lasted around 2 years and was replaced in September of 2018 under warranty. Today, my car suddenly wouldn't start, and after getting a jump and going to Autozone, it showed the battery had zero charge. They didn't have another yellow top, so I got a wet battery, one of the only ones available. What sucks is I checked the warranty date and it expired 4 days ago. I'm quite disappointed that the average life I've seen with these are under 3 years.
