Battery OPTIMA or Exide
I don't know, but I just bought an Optima Red Top battery with a three year waranty sold at a store that has a store in every city.
I use optima. Highly recommend it too
Hrp: Optima. Best batteries out there. Have only had 2 since 2001! Red top, yellow and blue. Red should be sufficient unless you've got mega stereo. 800 watts.
This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.
We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.
I've been running a red top Optima for about four years now and no complaints.
Skip the dupmtima battery and save the coin. The extra capacity of a larger battery might not make the battery last longer (+5-7 years), heat kills batteries more than a few seconds of starting, and heat doesn't care if you have a small or large battery.
However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.
Haven't been impressed with the quality of optima over the last 5ish years.
