Battery OPTIMA or OEM KIA

I have an Optima Red Top battery in my 2006 Dodge Magnum that's at least 5 years old (probably older). It was heavily abused for years. Since then, this battery has been in my daily driver (5.7L V8), and it's still cranking strong with no issues.

I put an Optima Red Top in it when my tester showed it below 75% health, about a year ago.

My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me

IMO, the Optima Yellow top is your only option. It will last 5-10 Years.

My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.

I bought an Optima Red Top battery for my van, but the part store accidentally got me the one with top mount terminals only instead of top and side like I requested.

My wrx would be parked for long periods and I had optima yellow tops. I liked how hard it cranked, good for e85 cold starts. But wow, after the second one went flat I stop getting them. Bought some random battery and it\u2019s been holding charge no problem.

I bought a red top.. in like 3 weeks it wasn't taking a charge and it got returned. Never again

From my experiance with the optimal batteries you are better off with a Walmart battery and save money. I tried the optimal 2x. Both failed within a year. They were warranties but the replacements didn't last much longer.

Red Tops are sh* and have been for 10+ yrs at this point. \nThe last 3 or 4 I had didn't last 2yrs and I got warranty replacements, which also lasted 2yrs. For $300+ they are sh*.
