Battery OPTIMA or OEM Volvo

OEM Volvo Battery

I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.

Pros: deplete battery first
Vehicle: Volvo S60

I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.

Pros: rear wheels always powered
Vehicle: Volvo S60

Had a yellow optima that went 10 years and it started to slow a bit. Replaced the yellow with a red 6 years ago and it’s still fine.

Pros: long lifespan, good longevity
Cons: slowed down

I’ve had an Optima Red Top in my 2012 JK Rubicon for about 8 years. My mechanic recently said the battery is on its way out, and now the Jeep is struggling to turn over. I’ve heard Optima’s quality has dropped since I bought mine.

Pros: lasted 8 years
Cons: struggling to turn over, quality dropped

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.

Cons: cranking was slow, labored
