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

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

I don't see it as overkill. It might have unused capacity, but I'd also rather have a battery that stands up to more than just enough.

Pros: stands up to more, unused capacity

Vehicle: Toyota Highlander

Just did that on my 19 gsw, no battery management extra thing to deal with, just the two connectors and obd11 for coding to fleece (not binary agm). Only issue I have is the battery blanket doesn't fit the bigger size.

Pros: no extra battery management

Cons: blanket doesn't fit

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.

Cons: many warranty claims
