Reviews of OPTIMA battery

I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.

When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.

I personally don't care for 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

I killed two of those, never buying again.

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.

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.

Anyway I know people talk a lot of crap about them but I use Optima batteries in anything that can fit them. Mainly because I have a bunch of cars and many of them sit around. Its nice to know that if the battery dies I can condition and recharge it and get back to normal and not worry.

I am entertaining an Optima Yellow Top this time. It's $339, for reference, and I have a feeling it will outlast/outperform the OEM.

I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'
