I recently switched to an Optima Red Top 35 Series which has 720 CCA.
Optima is a great battery if you're running heavy-duty sound systems.
Optima is very good, Run them in all my cars. Hold their charge well in my chilly climate as well.
Optima batteries tend to last pretty long because they use AGM over lead acid
Been running red tops for 2 years. been fine so far.
Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.
Walmart everstart battery lasted about a year from my experience. This used car i bought came with a Bosch battery. it died right before 3 year free replacement. I took it to the pepboys and they gave new one for free.
Optima was once a great battery. However a few years back they moved their production and since then its been a nightmare of failures.
No they are garbage now. Source: we sell them at work. We also warranty them. Don't buy an Optima. Ever since Johnson bought them, they went downhill.
I've never been impressed with an Optima battery.
