Battery OPTIMA or OEM Honda

My old Celica was at 11 years of daily on a Yellow Top, including at least 3x when it sat to dead and recharged just fine. When I got a new car and stopped driving it, it only lasted another 6 months of infrequent driving after that.

I had a yellow top that lasted me through 3 cars and over 12 years. I sold it with one of my cars. Those were the good ole days where they actually were decent.

ive got my early 2000's redtop it still sits at 12 but it gets alarmingly hot when in use, best battery ever, over 10 cars

Agree with all that has been said! My battery crapped out on my 2020 outback recently. Immediately put in a non-OEM brand. Optima to be specific. Couldn\u2019t be happier.

My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery

I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.

I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.

Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.

I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.

Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.
