Battery OPTIMA or OEM Hyundai

I’ve got Optima batteries in some of the more “Special” cars.

I have a 2015 Tucson, 130km on it and only needed to replace the battery on it once at the end of its life. It’s such a strong car! I love it.

Yellow top is/was a hybrid cranking/deep cycle battery, once popular for putting big stereo systems in cars because it could handle the discharge cycles of running the system without them engine running.

Ive been using a yellow top for around 5 years in my CRV with no issues

had one in a car that rolled 4 times and it’s still working

I am on my second one in two years, their battery management is brilliant. I'm the summer I get well over 300 miles in my my Kona

I had a Red Top Optima battery, but it’s so dead that even my NOCO AGM charger won’t recognize or charge it.

Optima batteries have, in my experience, gone downhill over the last few years. For their price, I don’t think they’re worth considering.

I purchased one because of my car stereo upgrade, thinking it would be a better choice. Within a few weeks, I noticed that my cranking was slow and labored. It is almost seven months later, and I find myself having to randomly jump-start my car. Note: At first, I was concerned that my audio amps were not turning off properly and checked to confirm that everything was off. I think I may need to go with a different solution now.

I went through 2 of them in my Corvette. The last one was making sizzling noises after I needed a jump from a 200 amp battery jumper. The top of the battery was meled,.Not worth the money. Never again!!!
