Rating 5.0

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.

Pros: long lasting, reliable after jump
Vehicle: Chevrolet Camaro

OPTIMA Battery

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

Pros: good replacement battery
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle: Toyota Tundra

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.

Pros: looks cool, functioning currently
Cons: discharged completely, uncertain charge hold

Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).

Cons: high dead battery rate
