FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.

Pros: zero issues

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Optima batteries tend to last pretty long because they use AGM over lead acid

Pros: tend to last

So, I replaced it with a new optima battery anyways. Still have the issue.... Moved onto the car alternator. Tested it with my DVOM and it was giving out 13.7V at idle.

Optima was once a great battery. However a few years back they moved their production and since then its been a nightmare of failures.

Pros: once great battery

Cons: nightmare of failures

No they are garbage now. Source: we sell them at work. We also warranty them. Don't buy an Optima. Ever since Johnson bought them, they went downhill.

Cons: garbage now, went downhill
