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.

Pros: starts every time

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.

Pros: replaced after a decade

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

I replaced the battery with an optima battery brand new I assume the high quality battery. If the battery was a problem would fix it but it did not and now I’m back to square one

Pros: high quality battery

Cons: did not fix problem

It is a great car to drive.\n\nThe battery range is very, very poor. On a cold day the range may be in the 120 range. It is exp naive to maintain as most parts on it are coded which means Audi dealer only

Pros: great car to drive

Cons: battery range very poor

Vehicle: Audi
