Battery OPTIMA or ODYSSEY

I have optima yellow and it’s lasted 150,000 miles so far and not slowing down

As previously stated. I have had an Optima Red Top in my Cabriolet for nearly 7 years and have never had a problem. During that that tiome, the battery sat out of the car for almost a year with only occasional bench top charging and was perfectly OK when put back into service. Also, recently I screwed up and left my lights on. The battery was dead dead the next morning. 1.43 volts present to be exact. Took some time but I was able to bring it back up, and it has been performing well ever since. Optima even has a video out about how to bring back a completely dead battery.

I have an Optima Red Top in my 1990 Cabriolet. I have been very happy with it. It is probably about 7 years old at this time and I have never had a problem with it. Otherwise, I would REC a DEKA branded battery. IMHO, "cheap" batteries are not worth the relatively small ammount of money saved.

I'm on my third battery and was thinking about upgrading it to something more reliable, like an Optima.

I went with Odyssey Extreme gel cell and its worth the price!

When I was running two amps 2 12s eight speakers inside head unit capacitor and a built motor I use the yellow top with good success

The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.

I personally don't care for optima.

I killed two of those, never buying again.

I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.
