I've had very good results with mine, and I just get whatever would fit a New Beetle TDI. NBs take a reverse terminal battery and it's nice and compact.
Although now I run an Optima Redtop that doesn't need to vent.
always a safe bet to get a good optima battery, i drained my cheapo oem battery several times before i became fed up with it. optima has help up great
I've owned a red top for the last two years which I know is not very long but haven't had any problems either.
I have had an optima for my Jeep Wrangler for close to 3 years. Never any problems. I have left the lights on a few times too draining the battery... never any problems after recharging either... not sure why everybody hates them.
I have an optima Yellow top in my GLI. Everything went in easy... very awesome battery i must say. I have a large sound system with a cap and this battery has never failed me.
I just pick one up from the junk yard for $15 and they offer a 30 day warranty. You can find a nice optima used for around $60-$80 in this area
I liked my old optima. lasted 7 years. I've heard the new ones are Interstate brand now and are no good. I will not buy again based on what I've been hearing. too bad.
I had an optima yellow top in my Jeep for 3 years. Then all of a sudden a cell died without warning, leaving me stranded in the desert when I went to start it. I will never buy another one. The duralast I replaced it with has been in there for about 4 years now with no problems. It also cost less than half what the optima was.
Yellow tops are great, but since they switched the Redtop to the new design, it's a joke.
