Battery OPTIMA or ODYSSEY
I had an older optima yellow top last about 10 years. I miss when that quality was available
On my 2014 Leaf SV I put in an Optima Yellowtop and it lasted over 7 years.
I have a 10 year old yellow top Optima (not even the nicest thing out there) that starts a 440 (often 9 months between starts) every time. I haven't even put a tender on it in the last 5 years.
Optima yellow top. It's around $300 ish. The last one was replaced after a decade. The new one I have will probably be the last one.
Yellow top , my recommendation ; I do carry multiple lights on the taco .size 35
Odyssey AGM. Super durable, sits well if you aren\u2019t riding much and far less likely to leak.
Optima seems to be the only brand of cylindrical Pb batteries for automotive use... pretty much every other automotive Pb battery is prismatic.
That's the first I've seen one fail this way.
One day my alternator went and killed the optima battery
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
Those Optima Red, Yellow and Blue tops used to be the cat's ass 20 years ago, but quality has fallen off big time in recent years
