I've had an Optima battery for several years. Still cranks my G20 van as if were brand new.????
I run optimas because of the extreme temps here. Can be -40 outside and over 120 in the summers. They've been great for my old 454 powered truck.
I’ve had mine in for about 3 or four years. The only thing I’ve noticed is I don’t have to change my battery every year now.
I had an Optima battery in my 2006 WRX for about 7 or 8 years before deciding to replace it with another Opitima battery. I ran that second Optima battery for about 5 or 6 years before trading in the vehicle towards a 2021 WRX. The OEM battery may end up turning over just fine when the temperature is -20F'ish, but Optima batteries have never let me down in the past.
Bought the Optima, not yet installed. Have had good luck with them, 5 yrs or more each,
My last experience from them was a yellow top from 2015 that I got for my '01 Mustang. Had it for 4+ years starting up just fine and survived despite having been drained dead 5 times or so. Sold the car before the battery died.
I have an optima, have had others, love them. The only issue I've ever had with an optima is getting a severely discharged battery to take a charge, but through youtube i figured out it was an issue with my charger and started putting another one in parallel.
Optima used to be a big name but they switched manufacturing to Mexico and ever since they just don't hold up.
Optima are junk now as well since they were bought out a few years ago.
Optima has been garbage for about a decade now, ever since they were bought out and production moved out of the country. Quality immediately took a huge dive.
