Yellow Top Optima Battery. Used them since they're a deep cell battery and wont die when they're drained 150%. Something about how the seat belts sucked the life out of it after sitting for two days. Euro belts fixed that issue. They have a two year 100% over the counter replacement warranty at any of their retailers (yellow top). In '95 had a bad alternator overcharge the battery and leaked acid on the intercooler tubes. Since then I've relocated it to the trunk and had an Optima. If there wasn't a sealed battery when the car was rear ended it would of spilled the acid all over the trunk. The impact did kill the Yellow top by separating the conductors internally. Insurance refused to pay for it, but after the receipt was found it had 2 Mo left on the full warranty. So, safety, warranty, performance and longevity for about 30% more than a normal battery.
Get an Optima Yellowtop 35 and be done with it, that's what I replaced my OEM battery with an loved it
Threw a redtop Optima in mine...3yr warranty...no issues
I put my optima in with no issues
I just upgraded to a yellow top optima n I'm one cable short on finishing the big three.
Great battery! I'm really happy with mine.
I had numerous Optima batteries in my car for about 12 years and the only reason I kept going with them was because they replaced it under warranty every time they went bad.
Optima isn't nearly as good as it used to be. I've owned a lot of their dry cell batteries and they've gone to **** over the years. They don't hold up well to this kind of use, and if they drop below 11V they **** the bed.
Once Johnson Controls bought them, they've become worse and worse.
My optima failed after 1.5 years
