Battery OPTIMA or ODYSSEY

I ran a yellow top Optima in my Civic from 2009 up till this year. A hell of a run!

In 4 years I put 3 batteries in my wife’s 2013 Infiniti, 3rd battery I went with an Odyssey and it’s been going strong for 3 years now.

Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.

I have a 10 year old odyssey battery that's still going strong. Not cheap but worth it.

A lot of people say the Optima is not a good battery anymore, but I continue to have good luck with them.

I use an Optima Yellow Top battery and it made a big difference. The Yellow Top is honestly just good for the car in general.

Mind you this throttle body is brand new.

Optima batteries have, in my experience, gone downhill over the last few years. For their price, I don’t think they’re worth considering.

I purchased one because of my car stereo upgrade, thinking it would be a better choice. Within a few weeks, I noticed that my cranking was slow and labored. It is almost seven months later, and I find myself having to randomly jump-start my car. Note: At first, I was concerned that my audio amps were not turning off properly and checked to confirm that everything was off. I think I may need to go with a different solution now.

I went through 2 of them in my Corvette. The last one was making sizzling noises after I needed a jump from a 200 amp battery jumper. The top of the battery was meled,.Not worth the money. Never again!!!
