Owner reviews for battery

I have a red top optima. I was told that the yellow top is better if your running competition stuff in your car, ie stereos, strobes, neons, and such. 1st red top lasted about 5 yrs. On 2nd red top and have no problems with it.

I bought the Yellow top today . fits the TT perfectly . and also made room for the breaker for the power cable for the Audio setup . the original battery was a little taller and wouldm't clear the battery coverery. so I was worried about mounting the breaker too far from the battery, now its all good.

i had a yellowtop in my gti for several years. i got it from a friend who had had it as a second battery with his stereo install for 2 years. it lasted about 6 years total. bought a red top and liked it a ton. when my tt stock batt goes out, ill get one.

Deka. cranks every time

red top fits perfectly fine..no mods

If your cover does not fit on the 75/35, you must be using the spacer under the battery! I have this model and my cover fits fine and no modifications to the battery box were required.

I have a redtop 75/35 and it fits fine. The battery cover doesn't fit over without a little modification though. And you have to slightly trim the top bracket that folds down over the battery..

I'm using a Yuasa with a 4 year warranty. The optima yellow is good but not worth 3 and half times the price for twice the life span of a normal battery unless you plan on deep discharging it a few times. I just think they're a little over priced for what you get.

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

I ran an Odyssey mini battery in my weekend car, any longer than 2 weeks without driving would drain it. I wouldn't really recommend a mini battery for a daily, if your car doesn't start after 2-3 tries, you might be stuck lol.
