Reviews of OPTIMA battery

I had an Optima that behaved like this and took it back to AutoZone, they swapped it out without much hassle.

I've owned an optima before. Will never buy another one. I used one in my 4x4 to listen to music while camping, play it until the sub cuts out, get a jump, charge it and repeat. Ended up damaging the battery and it would never hold a charge and struggled to start the truck after a weekend of camping. Tossed it out after 2 years.

Optima is not what it used to be. Total and utter crap.

Every optima battery I have seen in customer vehicles (I'm an auto tech) goes to crap in about 6 months to a year. I think these types of batteries are more sensitive to low voltages. They also don't hold up at all during the freezing winter months.

I had an optima in my garage queen, wasn't even hooked up most of the time(unhooked it till I wanted to drive/work on it). it died 2 years and one month later, with MAYBE 1000 miles on it, no replacement/etc. now it's a doorstop in my garage.

Optima batteries have slowly gone to shit since they were bought by Johnson Controls.

Their batteries have never been great, and they've always failed prematurely for myself and several others.

Optima is no longer the same quality as it was years ago due to outsourcing to Mexico

Optimas are junk. They used to be good years ago but that time has passed.

I bought a red top used off craigslist over 3years ago and it's still great.
