Battery OPTIMA or YUASA

Halfords stock Yuasa which I've never had a problem with

When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.

I have the true start now. Previous one is yuasa from 2004 that lasts a good 17 years.

I've never had a problem with one

I had a couple of Optimas back in the early 00’s that I took from truck to truck to truck. I had a couple of them for about 10 years. they used to be nearly indestructible.

My 09 yellow top just bit the dust. I was able to get it charged back above 13v but it's so old I didn't want to risk it with winter coming.

I’m just pulling out a 4+ year old Yuasa that only started giving me problems about 2 months ago. Gonna try the $30 Mighty Max special this time since it seems to have some favorable reviews and we’ll see what happens. ????

Put a Yuasa in my Street triple and it lasted 1.5 years almost exactly. Would keep it on the tender in cold months every so often, never killed it or discharged it, and still died which was disappointing for the price and the “OEM” brand.

I also have an 18 and replaced factory with an Optima Yellowtop. Did not last long at all which sucks, was excited to try a battery I've heard so much good about. Went back to OEM since I didn't want any headache and it lasted me quite a bit the first time. Seems like Optima has declined in quality over time.

Replaced my OEM battery with a yellow top and it lasted less than a year. Complete junk imo.
