Battery OPTIMA or Varta

I use optima. Highly recommend it too

Hrp: Optima. Best batteries out there. Have only had 2 since 2001! Red top, yellow and blue. Red should be sufficient unless you've got mega stereo. 800 watts.

I just now successfully replaced the battery with a varta cp1254 a4 due to the right one going bad after a year of use, testing it for a few hours now and it worked!

I've been using the varta cp1254 a3 (60mAh) in my left earbud for about a month. The difference is very small (less than 10%). From full charge to low battery warning, varta 20%, zenipower 25+%.

I've been running a red top Optima for about four years now and no complaints.

I know some people love to shit on Optima but my yellow top is still kickin at 10 years old. Been run to the ground a couple of times over the years and the slow charger brings it right back.

I run yellowtops in my car and truck and the truck is going on 5 years now and still kicking.

The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.

Optima are junk now as well since they were bought out a few years ago.

my 2019 GolfR battery died recently. well, it wouldn't hold any capacity and had to be charged every few days. anyway, i had my warranty apppointment today at the dealer and stood outside for an hour. i was wondering why it took so long. the new battery is a 000.915.105.CB.DSP. hopefully the AGM battery will do better with mine too.
