OPTIMA Battery

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.

Pros: long lifespan, 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.

Pros: long lifespan
Cons: failed, old

My old Celica was at 11 years of daily on a Yellow Top, including at least 3x when it sat to dead and recharged just fine. When I got a new car and stopped driving it, it only lasted another 6 months of infrequent driving after that.

Pros: long lifespan, recharged fine
Cons: short lifespan with infrequent driving
Vehicle: Toyota Celica

I had a yellow top that lasted me through 3 cars and over 12 years. I sold it with one of my cars. Those were the good ole days where they actually were decent.

Pros: long lifespan, decent quality
