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.
The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.
I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.
Even in the colder weather now, I'd be getting 400+ km on a full charge in my BEV (Mustang Mach e). But I only charge once a week (Fri night), to 80% to help with battery life; costs about $3 per week to get an extra 200-300km.
When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.
I've never had a problem with one
The battery is an Optima Yellowtop 5.5 75h, I changed it in 2018. It has central poles and the negative pole near the windshield. Now given the very high prices of the Optimas and since their lifespan disappointed me, I wanted to get a cheaper battery.
my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
