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.
I'm on my third battery and was thinking about upgrading it to something more reliable, like an Optima.
When I was running two amps 2 12s eight speakers inside head unit capacitor and a built motor I use the yellow top with good success
Your alternator probably just shit the bed. Was on its last of its life then the added \"stress\" of a stereo system made it kill itself.
Skip the dupmtima battery and save the coin. The extra capacity of a larger battery might not make the battery last longer (+5-7 years), heat kills batteries more than a few seconds of starting, and heat doesn't care if you have a small or large battery.
I killed two of those, never buying again.
A month ago I bought a 2022 M3P with 7k miles, was at 310 estimated fully charged, now 280 all of a sudden at 10k miles.
I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.
