Owner reviews for battery

I have always used an optima red top for all the cars I have owned. Never had an issue.

i did the same thing and i couldnt be happier.

I have run an Interstate battery without issues for the last year, but recently switched to an Optima Red Top. Although I had to get creative in mounting the fuse box on top of the battery, it is nearly 200-300A more than the Interstate in regards to CCA and CA. I am highly impressed. My Escort 8500 has a built in voltmeter. When I would sit at idle with the Interstate battery with all accessories running (lights, A/C, radio) and with as hot has it's been as of late, I would get a low voltage warning (10.5 VDC) when it activated. With the Optima I have yet to see one.

i took the car in let him drain the battery and that was def dead. so we changed it and my car was beautiful, the lights didnt flicker at all.

I've got an optima yellow top & it fit w no problem. No modification whatsoever. You just gotta make sure tha +/- (positive/negative) are reversed.

I purchased a new oem battery today. The 12v 92ah AGM 850A EN/ SAE 520A. Hopefully this solves my current issue. I'll know a little better in the morning on my way to work. At least my key fob works from greater distances now.

I think we have an Optima in our Mk1 diesel.

Replace battery with OEM battery AFS still in operable on and off.

Aside from getting a defective Bosch battery that was replaced for fre I've never had a problem with either.

My Optima Redtop 8003-151 34R that I purchased through amazon kicked the bucket and cannot be recharged. Do not buy Optima Batteries from Amazon since they will send you back to Optima and Optima will tell you that Amazon is not an Authorized dealer.
