Reviews of OPTIMA battery

I have an optima Yellow top in my GLI. Everything went in easy... very awesome battery i must say. I have a large sound system with a cap and this battery has never failed me.

I just pick one up from the junk yard for $15 and they offer a 30 day warranty. You can find a nice optima used for around $60-$80 in this area

Optima are very over rated. They once were good batteries but not anymore.

Don't assume the Optima is in good condition either. I love them, I have one in each car, but both my brother and I have bought RED and YELLOW tops that were bad from the store.

Your Optima might never be the same now. Once they go dead they usually don't have the same charging and output capabilities.

Yup, that's the one. The R is for reversed terminals to make it a more ideal fit for our application. Sadly I couldn't find one locally when I needed it so I got the 34/78. It works but isn't a perfect fit as it does require trimming to get the clips on the distribution block to snap back in.

i've got the yellow top, installed from the previous owner. it doesn't fit my battery cover too well, but boy does the yellowtop have plenty of CCAs, my start is much stronger than my friend's .:R32 (battery from dealer).

I just have a red top Optima in there. It is the only batteries I'll buy after the one in my truck went through so much hell and survived many years of abuse.

Mine fit like a glove - no mods - no custom bracket - OEM battery cover fits perfectly.

I have the model 35 and the stock cover does fit over it: As far as long term, I haven't been super impressed... I've had my redtop die a few times over the last few years, not even from extended use... however it did get rid of issues I had with my lights dimming from the sub and if I decide to drive upside down it supposedly can handle that
