I've had great luck with the Optima Yellow Top DS46B24R for Gen2.
I've run Optima red tops for years and never had a problem.
Ended up finding a red top in the back of the store at Advanced (34R with 800CCA). If you go with Optima know that it takes some modification with the wiring. I needed to remove a cable tie and relocate one of the positive leads. Outback started right up and is running great.
I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well
I got a `EA530 exide 079te` for my leaf just over a year ago and so far it's still working perfect.
Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.
…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.
The optimas (red top) I got in 2019 are still going. They are not the best though just better than liquid.
Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).
Think my optima red top is about to give out, it's draining down overnight in the cold
I used an Optima, never again.
