Battery OEM Mazda or OPTIMA

I have optima yellow and it’s lasted 150,000 miles so far and not slowing down

As previously stated. I have had an Optima Red Top in my Cabriolet for nearly 7 years and have never had a problem. During that that tiome, the battery sat out of the car for almost a year with only occasional bench top charging and was perfectly OK when put back into service. Also, recently I screwed up and left my lights on. The battery was dead dead the next morning. 1.43 volts present to be exact. Took some time but I was able to bring it back up, and it has been performing well ever since. Optima even has a video out about how to bring back a completely dead battery.

I have an Optima Red Top in my 1990 Cabriolet. I have been very happy with it. It is probably about 7 years old at this time and I have never had a problem with it. Otherwise, I would REC a DEKA branded battery. IMHO, "cheap" batteries are not worth the relatively small ammount of money saved.

I'm on my third battery and was thinking about upgrading it to something more reliable, like an Optima.

When I was running two amps 2 12s eight speakers inside head unit capacitor and a built motor I use the yellow top with good success

Your alternator probably just shit the bed. Was on its last of its life then the added \"stress\" of a stereo system made it kill itself.

I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.

my Optima Red Top failed after 2 years & 7 months. this is the last time I'll buy one.

Optimas are not the brand they once were, I would never put one in my vette after the brand new $300 red top I put in my Durango basically exploded a week after I put it in.

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