I ran a yuasa in my victory for nine years. It is now on its second life in my lawn tractor- 2 years and still going strong. Battery tenders for the win.
I had an Optima red top in my 89 4runner and that thing lasted for 12 fucking years. Needless to say I bought another one.
Just did that on my 19 gsw, no battery management extra thing to deal with, just the two connectors and obd11 for coding to fleece (not binary agm). Only issue I have is the battery blanket doesn't fit the bigger size.
I have optima yellow and it’s lasted 150,000 miles so far and not slowing down
As previously stated. I have had an Optima Red Top in my Cabriolet for nearly 7 years and have never had a problem. During that that tiome, the battery sat out of the car for almost a year with only occasional bench top charging and was perfectly OK when put back into service. Also, recently I screwed up and left my lights on. The battery was dead dead the next morning. 1.43 volts present to be exact. Took some time but I was able to bring it back up, and it has been performing well ever since. Optima even has a video out about how to bring back a completely dead battery.
I have an Optima Red Top in my 1990 Cabriolet. I have been very happy with it. It is probably about 7 years old at this time and I have never had a problem with it. Otherwise, I would REC a DEKA branded battery. IMHO, "cheap" batteries are not worth the relatively small ammount of money saved.
The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.
Stay away from optima batteries unless your car specifies an AGM battery because they can be very problematic.
my 2009 had an optima and it only lasted 2 years
I have only had poor luck with optimas
