My car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.

Pros: long lasting, reliable after jump

Vehicle: Chevrolet Camaro

Can confirm, worked at a battery store for a few years throughout college. Audis for some reason always lasted much longer than any other car brand.

My S4 battery is going on 6 years and it pops off like a brand new battery in Minnesota weather.

Pros: lasts much longer

Vehicle: Audi S4
