I have an optima red top 34/78. Its incredible. Been almost 3 years in and no matter how much I throw at it on the trails I dont get dead cells. The individual gel cells are less perceptible to shake damage from rough terrain.

Pros: incredible performance, durable on trails, no dead cells

Part number: 34/78

FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.

Pros: zero issues

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Used redtops for years. Had a couple go bad, but 3 year free replacement warranty solved that.

Pros: 3 year free replacement

Cons: couple went bad

Optima has been garbage for about a decade now, ever since they were bought out and production moved out of the country. Quality immediately took a huge dive.

Pros: null

Cons: Quality took a dive

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
