I know some people love to shit on Optima but my yellow top is still kickin at 10 years old. Been run to the ground a couple of times over the years and the slow charger brings it right back.

Pros: still kickin at 10 years

Cons: run to the ground

I have have good luck bringing sulfated Optimas to my local Interstate Battery. They’ve brought several back from the dead for me and they went on to last a very long time.

Pros: last a very long time

Honda batteries suck in general, bought a brand new one from the dealer and it was dead and wouldn't take a charge lol. I was willing to pay the extra cash for oem because I thought it would be better. Nope,

Cons: dead on arrival, wouldn't charge
