Battery OPTIMA or OEM Audi

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

Your alternator probably just shit the bed. Was on its last of its life then the added \"stress\" of a stereo system made it kill itself.

Anyway I know people talk a lot of crap about them but I use Optima batteries in anything that can fit them. Mainly because I have a bunch of cars and many of them sit around. Its nice to know that if the battery dies I can condition and recharge it and get back to normal and not worry.

I am entertaining an Optima Yellow Top this time. It's $339, for reference, and I have a feeling it will outlast/outperform the OEM.

I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'

My old car had an Optima Red Top in it for 10 years and never had a battery issue- but again, sitting on a tender most of the time.

Skip the dupmtima battery and save the coin. The extra capacity of a larger battery might not make the battery last longer (+5-7 years), heat kills batteries more than a few seconds of starting, and heat doesn't care if you have a small or large battery.

Replaced my OEM battery with a yellow top and it lasted less than a year. Complete junk imo.

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

I personally don't care for optima.
