IMO, the Optima Yellow top is your only option. It will last 5-10 Years.
Absolutely not true. I use an Optima battery, works great. Have for a few years now since my 2nd garbage oem battery went out. Or was it the 3rd?
I installed an Optima yellow top in my 2023 OBW. Works fine!
Currently running a yellow Optima, 3 years and going strong. I don't recall what the OE battery was but it crapped out after 2 years in mild California weather.
I had an older optima yellow top last about 10 years. I miss when that quality was available
My wrx would be parked for long periods and I had optima yellow tops. I liked how hard it cranked, good for e85 cold starts. But wow, after the second one went flat I stop getting them. Bought some random battery and it\u2019s been holding charge no problem.
I had same issue with energizer batteries both lasted exactly 14 months. Luckily battery came with18 months warranty so in total they lasted 28 months.
From my experiance with the optimal batteries you are better off with a Walmart battery and save money. I tried the optimal 2x. Both failed within a year. They were warranties but the replacements didn't last much longer.
Red Tops are sh* and have been for 10+ yrs at this point. \nThe last 3 or 4 I had didn't last 2yrs and I got warranty replacements, which also lasted 2yrs. For $300+ they are sh*.
Energizer is a shit battery. I had to put an Energizer one out of no options and that barely lasted a year.
