Battery OPTIMA or YUASA

I just installed mine recently and works great. Just keep in mind it's an AGM battery.

I would stick with a Yuasa YBX3012 - they are known to work reliably in the Zoe so I would go from others experience.

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.

Personally I'd always go with Bosch but recently had to get a new battery for my wife's car. I got a Yuasa battery and so far do good.

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

The battery is an Optima Yellowtop 5.5 75h, I changed it in 2018. It has central poles and the negative pole near the windshield. Now given the very high prices of the Optimas and since their lifespan disappointed me, I wanted to get a cheaper battery.

Optimas quality fell off hard when they moved manufacturing to Mexico. They've been riding on their previous reputation ever since.

Yes! I had to change mine in just a year and a half!!! I was so surprised because it’s Yuasa and it’s not the first I buy for my bikes (during the last 15 years).

I went through two of them in a season in my trail Jeep. I think years ago they were great batteries and the quality was there but now it’s just a brand name but junk product.
