I had a yellow top that lasted me through 3 cars and over 12 years. I sold it with one of my cars. Those were the good ole days where they actually were decent.
ive got my early 2000's redtop it still sits at 12 but it gets alarmingly hot when in use, best battery ever, over 10 cars
Agree with all that has been said! My battery crapped out on my 2020 outback recently. Immediately put in a non-OEM brand. Optima to be specific. Couldn\u2019t be happier.
I have a 2014 brz and power wise the only thing I've changed is an optima red top battery when my orm battery died. It does have a out twice the cca as the stock battery so maybe it helps.
The nice people at Optima would love to hear from you.
I put an Optima Yellow Top battery into my 2018 OB 3.6R because the CCAs of the stock battery were pitiful (490 vs 720). Maybe check out other brands aside from Duralast? Also, get something that’s way beefier than the stock battery, especially if you live in hot or cold climates.
Battery died July 2022. So got 3 years out of it. New battery is AGM (OEM VW from dealer). Stock battery was not AGM.
Optimas quality fell off hard when they moved manufacturing to Mexico. They've been riding on their previous reputation ever since.
I went through two of them in a season in my trail Jeep. I think years ago they were great batteries and the quality was there but now it’s just a brand name but junk product.
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.
