Battery OPTIMA or Deka
Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.
…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.
I just installed mine recently and works great. Just keep in mind it's an AGM battery.
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 always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
I currently run a Deka Intimidator in my rig and it's been problem free for 3 years now
The optimas (red top) I got in 2019 are still going. They are not the best though just better than liquid.
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.
I got stuck getting an optima for my truck because the one that was in it literally exploded.
