Reviews of OPTIMA battery

If you want a great battery get an optima, other than that it's pretty much all the same to me.

Ive had my red top for 5 years no problems...

I've been using a blue optima for about 6 years now and still going strong... Yes yes I know its for marine applications

I liked my old optima. lasted 7 years. I've heard the new ones are Interstate brand now and are no good. I will not buy again based on what I've been hearing. too bad.

I used to have a red top optima in my race truck for vibration reasons but for this car I wanted something that would run the compressors (if needed) subs, etc.... while the car wasn't running and still have the balls to kick the motor over for a start. That is why I went with the yellow top, kinda like a deep cycle for your car. You can drain the hell outta it and it will still start your car for you. That and it last two times longer than your conventional battery.

optima=the suck... one year on a yellow top turned into .05 volts under load....

optimas are good. thats what i use

The new optimas are junk, I would get a conventional battery and call it a day. I have had numerous red tops in the past in various vehicles and they last no longer than a regular battery should and I didnt think they were all they were cracked up to be. When it came time after 4 years to replace the battery in my car I just got a conventional interstate and have been happy since

have an optima red top it starts the car at -40 weather no problem, only catch is if you kill it the batt will never be the same iv gone through 2 so far in the last 2 years but with 10 year or more warranty who cares.

optima blue tops are marine-think of blue water and yellow are deep cycle 2] having the ground LARGER than the power is ALWAYS better in terms of car audio- electrons move negitive to postive , if my amp takes a 4 gauge wire for power the ground gets a 2 guage, this alone has gotten rid of some of my dimming
