I have seen some test results on ID3 after 100000 km and still everything is quite good on the car. Battery is not damaged like on a cellphone if that is your worry.
I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well
Maybe last year I got a letter from Subaru Canada saying the battery was being recalled and I could get a replacement.
…After I had already replaced it with an Optima Yellow Top.
I just installed mine recently and works great. Just keep in mind it's an AGM battery.
My 2014 jetta TDI does the exact same thing as in your video when the battery is dying. I've had the car now for 6 years and it's happened 3 times. If the alternator checks out fine, then I would attempt a new battery.
I run the red top. I haven't noticed any issues except it doesn't fit the stock tray.
I bought an optima just because it and it's custom hold down looked cool. Unfortunately I let it sit with no tender for over a year and it discharged almost completely. I've been able to nurse it back and it is functioning at this time, but not sure it will hold a charge. We will see. I'm happy with it otherwise.
Bought a new one and had to warranty it 6months later.
All since lifespan has been 2-3 years. I only sell them at customer request…
Bought a yellow-top that only lasted 3 years.
