Battery OPTIMA or Duracell

I've had great luck with the Optima Yellow Top DS46B24R for Gen2.

I've run Optima red tops for years and never had a problem.

Ended up finding a red top in the back of the store at Advanced (34R with 800CCA). If you go with Optima know that it takes some modification with the wiring. I needed to remove a cable tie and relocate one of the positive leads. Outback started right up and is running great.

I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well

I got a Duracell at Sam's Club for around $150, no prorating on 3 year warranty if it goes. Just a new battery.

Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.

…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.

I’ve had an Optima Red Top in my 2012 JK Rubicon for about 8 years. My mechanic recently said the battery is on its way out, and now the Jeep is struggling to turn over. I’ve heard Optima’s quality has dropped since I bought mine.

Optoma are shit nowadays anyway.

Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).

Think my optima red top is about to give out, it's draining down overnight in the cold
