Optima yellow top. It's around $300 ish. The last one was replaced after a decade. The new one I have will probably be the last one.
I've had good results from East Penn Duracell at Sam's Club. I just replaced one nearly 8 years old.
The best way to check is to go with a multimeter and get the highest voltage/closest manufactured date. Duracell might just be EverStart rebranded BUT NO the Walmart battery will last around 1-2 years, maybe less. If you want to make sure your covered with a good battery, that’s when you go to Advance Auto or AutoZone and get the battery with 3 years of warranty and swap it out right before the 3rd year ends and I find the batteries last me forever.
The best lead acid type of battery is a Duracell/East Penn hybrid/house AGM deep cell. These have thicker plates and are typically used for RVs and boats. They can tolerate deeper discharge and are less susceptible to damage (AGM). They sacrifice a little instantaneous current output, but that's not needed on an EV.
We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.
I replaced the battery with an optima battery brand new I assume the high quality battery. If the battery was a problem would fix it but it did not and now I’m back to square one
I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
Those Optima Red, Yellow and Blue tops used to be the cat's ass 20 years ago, but quality has fallen off big time in recent years
Power Sonic or Yuasa. Duracell is great for lots of service every year after an inspection. Never seen them make it to the next inspection alive.
