Battery OPTIMA or Duracell
My 2015 Jeep Patriot's factory battery from Chrysler had one, until I replaced it last year with a Sam's Club Duracell special
Anyway I know people talk a lot of crap about them but I use Optima batteries in anything that can fit them. Mainly because I have a bunch of cars and many of them sit around. Its nice to know that if the battery dies I can condition and recharge it and get back to normal and not worry.
I got a Duracell from batteries plus because it has a two year warranty. Starts strong so far, but it’s only been maybe 4 months.
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.
The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.
When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.
I personally don't care for optima.
I killed two of those, never buying again.
