Just replaced battery on my Mazda 3 2018.
Di naman inabot ng hindi na ma-start. The i-stop orange sign started blinking + warning sign = i knew battery voltage was low.
Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.
Ive been using a yellow top for around 5 years in my CRV with no issues
Stated the battery was going bad, my thanks to Autonation for letting me get the inspection done and replacing the battery with a Varta AGM (I believe factory spec). Basically I love this car
had one in a car that rolled 4 times and it’s still working
I replaced mine with a higher capacity Varta 44ah 420cca battery, never had a flat since
Optima seems to be the only brand of cylindrical Pb batteries for automotive use... pretty much every other automotive Pb battery is prismatic.
That's the first I've seen one fail this way.
Optimas don’t seem to hold up any better than the AGM from the parts store.
Optoma are shit nowadays anyway.
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).
