Battery OPTIMA or OEM FORD
had one in a car that rolled 4 times and it’s still working
Get a OPTIMA Yellowtop D35 Like I Did, I've Never Had Any Startup Issues Eversince, I Actually Regret Not Buying One Before I Spent $120 For a Battery Tender Jump Box From Amazon.com
Had a yellow optima that went 10 years and it started to slow a bit. Replaced the yellow with a red 6 years ago and it’s still fine.
I use oem bc I get discounted price else I’d use optima, bc I personally on my cars with optimas have never had a problem and oldest is coming up on 9 years
I went to the store and traded the core of my perfectly "good" DieHard Gold (~18 mos old) and spent $400 on an Optima Yellow Top. The difference was immediate. Interior lights were brighter, mirrors functioned normally, no 'system off' garbage, truck opened and closed without hesitation. It starts strong and fast. With the temperature dropping, the peace of mind has been 100% worth the price. I even put the portable jump starter back in the garage. It worked.
I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.
The optimas (red top) I got in 2019 are still going. They are not the best though just better than liquid.
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!!!
my Optima Red Top failed after 2 years & 7 months. this is the last time I'll buy one.
