i've got the yellow top, installed from the previous owner. it doesn't fit my battery cover too well, but boy does the yellowtop have plenty of CCAs, my start is much stronger than my friend's .:R32 (battery from dealer).
I just have a red top Optima in there. It is the only batteries I'll buy after the one in my truck went through so much hell and survived many years of abuse.
Mine fit like a glove - no mods - no custom bracket - OEM battery cover fits perfectly.
If you want a great battery get an optima, other than that it's pretty much all the same to me.
Ive had my red top for 5 years no problems...
I've been using a blue optima for about 6 years now and still going strong... Yes yes I know its for marine applications
I liked my old optima. lasted 7 years. I've heard the new ones are Interstate brand now and are no good. I will not buy again based on what I've been hearing. too bad.
Optimas are junk. They used to be good years ago but that time has passed.
Optima is the most overrated battery brand on the planet (I'm not saying the WORST, but they are way too well-known for being a slightly-below-average product). They used to suck when they were gel cell (gel cells all suck) and their more recent AGM (AGM itself is good) batteries aren't great. Made by Johnson Controls, a not-great company, in Mexico.
My Optima Redtop 8003-151 34R that I purchased through amazon kicked the bucket and cannot be recharged. Do not buy Optima Batteries from Amazon since they will send you back to Optima and Optima will tell you that Amazon is not an Authorized dealer.
