Battery OPTIMA or OEM Mercedes
Optima Red Top has been treating me well.
I like AGM batteries. Using optimas now, whenever these finally die I'll try another brand. 4 years in now and I can't notice any loss of capacity yet. They work amazing when it is like 0 degrees F, too.
If you do need one, optima is pretty good but expensive.????
I have a VR6 swap that Sal at S&P did for me and we used an Optima Red Top.
I've had an Optima battery for several years. Still cranks my G20 van as if were brand new.????
I run optimas because of the extreme temps here. Can be -40 outside and over 120 in the summers. They've been great for my old 454 powered truck.
I always liked Optimas, but I bought mine 2-4 years ago. I heard the quality has gone down but haven’t checked myself.
I personally don't care for optima.
I killed two of those, never buying again.
I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.
