I did and what a misnomer 'dry cell' is. Yes they are great and expensive. Both standard and 'drycell' have liquid eletrolyte so it's weird to start talking about 'drycell'

Pros: great and expensive

Cons: misnomer 'dry cell'

My old car had an Optima Red Top in it for 10 years and never had a battery issue- but again, sitting on a tender most of the time.

Pros: lasted 10 years

Personally, I have a fondness for Optima batteries, particularly the Yellow Top, in any vehicle where there are a lot of accessories to run, though I have a Red Top in my daily driver.

Pros: fondness for Optima batteries

I have definitely experienced said quality issues on multiple Optima batteries. They all lasted about a year for me.

Cons: short lifespan, quality issues
