The nice people at Optima would love to hear from you.
I’ve always used Yuasa and always get at least 7 year’s life
I put an Optima Yellow Top battery into my 2018 OB 3.6R because the CCAs of the stock battery were pitiful (490 vs 720). Maybe check out other brands aside from Duralast? Also, get something that’s way beefier than the stock battery, especially if you live in hot or cold climates.
I don't see it as overkill. It might have unused capacity, but I'd also rather have a battery that stands up to more than just enough.
I e been happy with them in my last 3 vehicles.
I had an oem yuasa last like 15 years...replaced it with another yuasa thats over 4 years old now...no issues so
I bought an optima just because it and it's custom hold down looked cool. Unfortunately I let it sit with no tender for over a year and it discharged almost completely. I've been able to nurse it back and it is functioning at this time, but not sure it will hold a charge. We will see. I'm happy with it otherwise.
I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.
Haven't been impressed with the quality of optima over the last 5ish years.
Have two red tops in my 05 GMC. Sneaky suspicion one is bad. They were new when I got the truck six years ago.
Went to start truck after sitting five days and it was dead. Meter showed 12.1 and it charged in an hour which is very fast. Truck would turn over but not run. Checked charge again, primary at 12.4 and secondary at 12.7. Swapped places and truck starts, runs, all accessories work now.
