Battery OPTIMA or OEM Hyundai

My old car had an Optima Red Top in it for 10 years and never had a battery issue- but again, sitting on a tender most of the time.

Personally, I have a fondness for Optima batteries, particularly the Yellow Top, in any vehicle where there are a lot of accessories to run, though I have a Red Top in my daily driver.

I don't know, but I just bought an Optima Red Top battery with a three year waranty sold at a store that has a store in every city.

I use optima. Highly recommend it too

Hrp: Optima. Best batteries out there. Have only had 2 since 2001! Red top, yellow and blue. Red should be sufficient unless you've got mega stereo. 800 watts.

I've been running a red top Optima for about four years now and no complaints.

Skip the dupmtima battery and save the coin. The extra capacity of a larger battery might not make the battery last longer (+5-7 years), heat kills batteries more than a few seconds of starting, and heat doesn't care if you have a small or large battery.

I also have an 18 and replaced factory with an Optima Yellowtop. Did not last long at all which sucks, was excited to try a battery I've heard so much good about. Went back to OEM since I didn't want any headache and it lasted me quite a bit the first time. Seems like Optima has declined in quality over time.

Replaced my OEM battery with a yellow top and it lasted less than a year. Complete junk imo.

When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.
