Battery Tesla or OPTIMA

Love the optima redtops, seem to last forever

Finally pulled the trusty old Panasonic battery out of my CX-5 and replaced it with an Optima Yellowtop. When I buttoned everything up, I still had my radio stations and settings right where I left them.

Buy a nice battery. I bought used 6 months ago and did a week of nightly research first, by FAR the biggest complaint was the battery going out or having constant low messages. I put a yellow top in mine a few days after getting it, not one issue this far.

For an all-arounder, the Tesla Highland refresh LR RWD is likely the answer. OOSR tested it and got 4.9 miles per kWh (204 Wh/mile) on their 70 mph highway cruising test, besting a Lucid Air Grand Touring by almost 15%.

I have an Optima Red Top battery in my 2006 Dodge Magnum that's at least 5 years old (probably older). It was heavily abused for years. Since then, this battery has been in my daily driver (5.7L V8), and it's still cranking strong with no issues.

I bought an Optima Red Top battery for my van, but the part store accidentally got me the one with top mount terminals only instead of top and side like I requested.

I don't know why this is but i always see issues with other batteries on here, get an original one asap from Tesla

From my experiance with the optimal batteries you are better off with a Walmart battery and save money. I tried the optimal 2x. Both failed within a year. They were warranties but the replacements didn't last much longer.

Red Tops are sh* and have been for 10+ yrs at this point. \nThe last 3 or 4 I had didn't last 2yrs and I got warranty replacements, which also lasted 2yrs. For $300+ they are sh*.

My only issue is I see my battery range moving down significantly. I'm currently doing calculations to see if the battery will be up for warranty replacement.
