Battery OPTIMA or YUASA
I stick with yuasa (equipped from the factory). Thankfully the yuasa lasts long, 5+ years.
I ran a yellow top Optima in my Civic from 2009 up till this year. A hell of a run!
Optima battery. They handle the cold much better.
I put the Yuasa in a few years ago and it’s never had an issue cranking since. HD OEM batteries are trash. Don’t replace it with another one.
A lot of people say the Optima is not a good battery anymore, but I continue to have good luck with them.
I replaced mine at age of 5 and half year, just to be sure - I am leaving the car at airport for 5 days regularly and I did not want to have another trouble solving in my life.
Price was 54 Euro. I have used Yuasa 5000 battery.
Old battery was sitting in garage and has swollen within week and lost voltage.
I replaced the battery with an optima battery brand new I assume the high quality battery. If the battery was a problem would fix it but it did not and now I’m back to square one
I went through 2 of them in my Corvette. The last one was making sizzling noises after I needed a jump from a 200 amp battery jumper. The top of the battery was meled,.Not worth the money. Never again!!!
my Optima Red Top failed after 2 years & 7 months. this is the last time I'll buy one.
Optimas are not the brand they once were, I would never put one in my vette after the brand new $300 red top I put in my Durango basically exploded a week after I put it in.
