^Mike if you really want one I can get you a great deal on one. My yellow top had issues that I'm having covered under warranty. I already bought a replacement yellow top because I didn't want the down time, but still need to take my old one in for testing and evaluation. I expect that I'll get a new yellow top as a replacement.

 

^^^ thanks for the offer Marcus, but I ended up just getting a Kirkland battery from Costco - suites me fine

 

these batteries are good but if you drain them down, they'll never hold a charge....the only downfall i've had using 2 redtops.....

 

Optima sux. Once they drop below 10 volts they will never hold a charge again. Friend has ben thru 3 of them. Way to spencive in my opion unless its for show.

 

Thats your opinion I think optima are the best batteries other than the oem from the dealer I left my interior lights on one night for the whole night plus my hids on came back out battery was low but after a couple cranks she started with another battery that story would be different

Maybe you should ask your friend did he ever get the car jumped because optima batteries are dry cell batteries if the die they can only be trickle charged but they rarely ever die unless something else is wrong with car

Optima batteries come with 3 yr warranty over how many years did he go through those 3 batteries

 

Chill man. Yea my buddy trickle charged them. Its ben a 5 yr build so 1st one was outta warranty the next he bought then got it rplaced by waranty. But yea like dude said in the post befor me once they get below ten volts they don't hold a charge.

Loosin up man

 

Lol I didn't mean for the statement to sound angry I was just stating facts lol

 

Well I satated myne aswell and that is why I will never waste money on an optima. I will spend my money on something nicer elsewhere.

 

HAHA, I can't believe you NOOBS getting your panties in a wad over opinions on battery's.... Optima batterys are the "IN" battery to use, in reality it's what ever works for you. My OE battery took a dump when I was at my buddys shop changing my oil, all he carries is DELCO so guess what I'm using.

yup, just like those Ed Hardy shirts that are all cut up like Hulk Hogan in the 80s

$300 for a ripped up tshirt with a tiger on it

 

Noob. Ha. Funny stuff guy

 

IDK if you all are from so cal but i am from jersey and we have auto zones here and they will do a free system check on your battery and alternator and that should tell you what you can do from there??? im not bashing anything on so cal or anything like this just not too sure if they exist out there

 

Noobs, that's pretty funny. You're right a lot of people jump on the band wagon of what's the in thing right now from car parts to electing presidents. I personally chose the optima red top because it's a stronger battery, withstands extreme temparetures better and lasts a whole lot longer than conventional batteries.
It all comes down to what you want, one should always do their research based on facts and test results when it comes to your ride. We mod our cars to our individual tastes and needs, I offer my opinions strictly as that. Make your own decisions and enjoy the ride.
