Battery OPTIMA or Bosch

I’ve got yellow top optima. Hasn’t failed me yet :)

Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.

I put that same Optima in 6 years ago (to the month!). Mines still fine knock on wood

Red optima battery on my 93 integra 10 yrs old still starts.

FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.

I am using Bosch battery for my BMW, going through my 2nd, it lasts for 2 years+, less than 50% of the price of the dealership

I have an optima, have had others, love them. The only issue I've ever had with an optima is getting a severely discharged battery to take a charge, but through youtube i figured out it was an issue with my charger and started putting another one in parallel.

Optimas are garbage. Mine didn't survive a 3 month work assignment. The battery was less than 2 years old, and fully charged when I left. Dead when I came back. Blew up like a football when I tried to charge it.

Optima batteries are garbage.

My last Optima was outlasted by a Sears Die Hard.
