Battery OPTIMA or Duracell

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.

The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.

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

Had a yellow optima that went 10 years and it started to slow a bit. Replaced the yellow with a red 6 years ago and it’s still fine.

Not near Utah but here on the west coast I use Powersonic or Genesis or Yuasa with good luck. For some reason all the Duracells I have purchased over the years fail about a year out of install.

I purchased one because of my car stereo upgrade, thinking it would be a better choice. Within a few weeks, I noticed that my cranking was slow and labored. It is almost seven months later, and I find myself having to randomly jump-start my car. Note: At first, I was concerned that my audio amps were not turning off properly and checked to confirm that everything was off. I think I may need to go with a different solution now.

I bought the battery last summer, drove the car around for about a month no problems.

I put the car away for autumn/winter.

Took it to auto parts store last night, checked in in the morning.

Employee brought it out, said it needed more time and put it back on "fast charger".

I come back 4hours later and they're telling me it exploded on the charger??

I went through 2 of them in my Corvette. The last one was making sizzling noises after I needed a jump from a 200 amp battery jumper. The top of the battery was meled,.Not worth the money. Never again!!!
