Red optima battery on my 93 integra 10 yrs old still starts.
FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.
I recently switched to an Optima Red Top 35 Series which has 720 CCA.
Optima is a great battery if you're running heavy-duty sound systems.
Optima is very good, Run them in all my cars. Hold their charge well in my chilly climate as well.
Optima batteries tend to last pretty long because they use AGM over lead acid
Been running red tops for 2 years. been fine so far.
Had an Optima once. It was fine til it died, and it died hard. These days I stick with Interstate blemished units, since you can get them with cosmetic blems for about $35 from your local dealer. Cable wise, I updated them with the ones from a Mk3 VR6. I like the connectors better. Cables seem to be identical otherwise. Thicker alternator wire from Autotech is a must.
My optima failed after 1.5 years
Johnson Controls ruined Optima.
