Battery OPTIMA or OEM Volvo

I had a 2004 Volvo s60 with a battery that lasted 15 years before I changed it. The mechanics were impressed. Really helped that it was located in the trunk.

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 car previous to that ('98 Z/28), had an Optima Yellow top. The car sat in garaged for several months with a map light left on, and the battery was dead. It took about 15 minutes of jumping to get interior lights, and another 10-15 minutes to start. After this, I drove that car for another 4 years with the same battery without any other issues.

The OEM tundra batteries only last me 3.5 years at best. I always replace with an Optima battery.

I always buy an Optima battery for all my cars cuz they last a lifetime.

Only things that went a couple months back was the EGR and a window mechanism. And the battery a year before.

my yellow top won't hold a charge after two winters in my project car. will never spend another dime with them

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…
