Battery Panasonic or OPTIMA

I had a 2004 Scion xb back in the day that was made in Japan. Had to get rid of it after the engine developed excessive oil consumption. Had a hell of a battery in it. Panasonic brand.

Ive been using a yellow top for around 5 years in my CRV with no issues

had one in a car that rolled 4 times and it’s still working

Yeah, the oem Panasonic battery is easy to kill. I replaced mine (2022 Turbo) with an AGM type. Most all batteries are made by Johnson Controls, under different names. The cheapest price I found was $179 with a 4 year warranty at Walmart. Everstart Platinum group 35. Was a 10 min job to remove and replace. They can even test your old one. The agm type is in the deep cycle family, it can be discharged quite a bit without any issues, the stock battery (flooded acid type) is easy to damage.

Get a OPTIMA Yellowtop D35 Like I Did, I've Never Had Any Startup Issues Eversince, I Actually Regret Not Buying One Before I Spent $120 For a Battery Tender Jump Box From Amazon.com

My 2019 Mazda 3 died on me randomly a couple months ago. The dealership ran a test on it and it came out fine. I changed it anyway as it was a stock 5 year old battery. It’s been fine since, even in the -20°C temps where I am.

I’ve had an Optima Red Top in my 2012 JK Rubicon for about 8 years. My mechanic recently said the battery is on its way out, and now the Jeep is struggling to turn over. I’ve heard Optima’s quality has dropped since I bought mine.

I purchased one because of my car stereo upgrade, thinking it would be a better choice. Within a few weeks, I noticed that my cranking was slow and labored. It is almost seven months later, and I find myself having to randomly jump-start my car. Note: At first, I was concerned that my audio amps were not turning off properly and checked to confirm that everything was off. I think I may need to go with a different solution now.

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.
