Battery OPTIMA or Duracell

Get an Optima Yellowtop 35 and be done with it, that's what I replaced my OEM battery with an loved it

Threw a redtop Optima in mine...3yr warranty...no issues

I put my optima in with no issues

I just upgraded to a yellow top optima n I'm one cable short on finishing the big three.

Great battery! I'm really happy with mine.

I have a red top, kicks ass, and would never get anything else..

Optimas are good batteries and they can be mounted in any position. They claim they're a spiracell acr blah blah battery and not a gel cell, but I think that's just marketing.

Your Optima might never be the same now. Once they go dead they usually don't have the same charging and output capabilities.

I go for the best, Optima Yellow Top group size 35 from Johnson Controls. I have owned them before, loved their batteries, a lot of In car Electronics, lights, Sound systems. I prefer Optima Yellow Tops. I installed the new battery, idle issue went away instantly. Driving home that night from work, fire started shooting out from under the hood scoop. Both the fire department and insurance company stated the fire started from the acid in the battery, originating from a single point on the battery. Wiring harness and vacuum lines were toast. Insurance company declared it a total loss.

These Optima batteries are crap. Junk. The new battery that i have had for a year now installed in my EOS (that replaced the batteries that were left continually connected to the optimate charger) were tested at Advantage auto parts today and the tester said they only had 180 CCA out of the 750CCA that the battery is rated at. WTF-- JUNK !! I am so frustrated with tis Optima JUNK.
