On my 2014 Leaf SV I put in an Optima Yellowtop and it lasted over 7 years.
I have a 10 year old yellow top Optima (not even the nicest thing out there) that starts a 440 (often 9 months between starts) every time. I haven't even put a tender on it in the last 5 years.
Optima yellow top. It's around $300 ish. The last one was replaced after a decade. The new one I have will probably be the last one.
Yellow top , my recommendation ; I do carry multiple lights on the taco .size 35
I ran a yellow top Optima in my Civic from 2009 up till this year. A hell of a run!
Mind you this throttle body is brand new.
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
It was a P.O.S. Panasonic battery that is known to die prematurely. Only had 28k miles on the car when it died and had to get it replaced.
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
They use some crap Panasonic battery.
