Battery OPTIMA or AC DELCO

A lot of people say the Optima is not a good battery anymore, but I continue to have good luck with them.

I use an Optima Yellow Top battery and it made a big difference. The Yellow Top is honestly just good for the car in general.

I’ve got Optima batteries in some of the more “Special” cars.

Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.

Ive been using a yellow top for around 5 years in my CRV with no issues

had one in a car that rolled 4 times and it’s still working

I replaced the battery with an optima battery brand new I assume the high quality battery. If the battery was a problem would fix it but it did not and now I’m back to square one

Man do yourself a favour and get either amaron or solite. Both lasted me almost 3 years. You're lucky that AC delco lasted you almost 2 years, the ones I get barely lasts a year, and that's with warranty replacement .

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.
