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.

Pros: handles stereo system
Cons: short alternator life

Anyway I know people talk a lot of crap about them but I use Optima batteries in anything that can fit them. Mainly because I have a bunch of cars and many of them sit around. Its nice to know that if the battery dies I can condition and recharge it and get back to normal and not worry.

Pros: can condition and recharge
Vehicle: Alfa Romeo Giulia

I am entertaining an Optima Yellow Top this time. It's $339, for reference, and I have a feeling it will outlast/outperform the OEM.

Pros: outlast/outperform the OEM
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'

Pros: great and expensive
Cons: misnomer 'dry cell'

My old car had an Optima Red Top in it for 10 years and never had a battery issue- but again, sitting on a tender most of the time.

Pros: lasted 10 years

The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.

Pros: good durability
Cons: not special, poor current delivery

I also have an 18 and replaced factory with an Optima Yellowtop. Did not last long at all which sucks, was excited to try a battery I've heard so much good about. Went back to OEM since I didn't want any headache and it lasted me quite a bit the first time. Seems like Optima has declined in quality over time.

Cons: short lifespan, quality declined
Vehicle: Ford Focus

When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.

Cons: many warranty claims
