Battery OPTIMA or Deka

OPTIMA Battery

I had a yellow top that lasted me through 3 cars and over 12 years. I sold it with one of my cars. Those were the good ole days where they actually were decent.

Pros: long lifespan, decent quality

I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.

Pros: twice the cca
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

I put an Optima Yellow Top battery into my 2018 OB 3.6R because the CCAs of the stock battery were pitiful (490 vs 720). Maybe check out other brands aside from Duralast? Also, get something that’s way beefier than the stock battery, especially if you live in hot or cold climates.

Pros: beefier than stock battery
Cons: stock battery pitiful

I replaced it with an Optima Yellow top battery. It lasted just shy of 3 years. Replaced it in July with another Yellow Top under warranty.

Pros: warranty replacement
Cons: lasted just shy 3 years

Optimas quality fell off hard when they moved manufacturing to Mexico. They've been riding on their previous reputation ever since.

Cons: quality fell off hard

I went through two of them in a season in my trail Jeep. I think years ago they were great batteries and the quality was there but now it’s just a brand name but junk product.

Pros: good quality (past)
Cons: short lifespan, poor quality
Vehicle: Jeep
