Battery OPTIMA or Energizer
Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.
A lot of people say the Optima is not a good battery anymore, but I continue to have good luck with them.
I put a Japan made energizer 2300mh storage at least for 8 monts, charged before storage and surprise, they make my flash work very quick even at maximum power, recycling flash time is even better than manufacturer specs.
I use an Optima Yellow Top battery and it made a big difference. The Yellow Top is honestly just good for the car in general.
I’ve got Optima batteries in some of the more “Special” cars.
Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.
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
It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.
I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.
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
Optima batteries have, in my experience, gone downhill over the last few years. For their price, I don’t think they’re worth considering.
