Purchased a Red Top 35 today and it fits! I did have to take the bottom bracket and flip it so that the side of the battery facing the headlight [+ -] stayed secure.

Pros: fits well

Cons: bracket needed flipping

Vehicle: Audi TT

In our shop we have found that the professional line of AC-Delco batteries seem to last the longest. I believe if you check the AC-Delco was what was installed at the factory in your Suzuki, and that lasted 7 years.

Pros: long lasting, reliable

Vehicle: Suzuki XL7

I'm a big fan of AC Delco batteries. Every one I've had has outlived the cars I've put them in.

Pros: long lasting, reliable

I had numerous Optima batteries in my car for about 12 years and the only reason I kept going with them was because they replaced it under warranty every time they went bad.

Pros: replaced under warranty

Cons: went bad often

Their batteries have never been great, and they've always failed prematurely for myself and several others.

Cons: never great, failed prematurely

Optima is no longer the same quality as it was years ago due to outsourcing to Mexico

Cons: quality declined, outsourced production
