Reviews of OPTIMA battery

Optimas don’t seem to hold up any better than the AGM from the parts store.

Optoma are shit nowadays anyway.

Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).

The battery is an Optima Yellowtop 5.5 75h, I changed it in 2018. It has central poles and the negative pole near the windshield. Now given the very high prices of the Optimas and since their lifespan disappointed me, I wanted to get a cheaper battery.

Think my optima red top is about to give out, it's draining down overnight in the cold

When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.

I used an Optima, never again.

my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them

I've never had a problem with one

I had a couple of Optimas back in the early 00’s that I took from truck to truck to truck. I had a couple of them for about 10 years. they used to be nearly indestructible.
