Pros: long lifespan, nearly indestructible

My 09 yellow top just bit the dust. I was able to get it charged back above 13v but it's so old I didn't want to risk it with winter coming.

Pros: long lifespan

Cons: failed, old

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.

Cons: disappointing lifespan, high prices

Vehicle: Jeep Wrangler
