I am looking at getting a new battery. I was wondering if any of you have Optima Batteries, and how you like them.

 

waste of $$$ thats my opinion, but after working at a boat store i know you dont need anything near that level. a deep cycle anything will do. it doesnt look as pretty, so there ya go

 

I have a yellow top (Deep cycle) and love it. I've drained it twice on accident and charged it right up and haven't had any problems for 2 years.

 

What if your stereo system is pushing 2800 watts? Would it be worth it then?

i have a red top and love it

 

Will a yellow top or red top handle a system like that?

Another Optima Red Top. Only 5K miles on it but so far so good. I liked the anti-vibration claim myself.

 

Actually, I really like my Red Top Optima. I went
through two stock batteries before I got this one
and it has already outlasted both of the stock
ones. Besides, the Red top has a 5 year warranty.

I went through a bunch of Die Hard's on my wife's
car before, so with the price of 2X the Die Hard,
I believe it is a bargain.

how much did you guys pay for your red tops?

 

Got my Orange top for $125 at Batteries plus. The orange is just like the red except the posts are reversed so you can turn the battery around to make the connections easier.

i bought a red top at the nopi show for 100.00 its just like any regular name brand (not stock those die out) battery but it just looks a whole cooler.

 

Pretty solid stock battery use to hesitate on startup because of short trips(city driver)/heavy load use (2500 watt stereo system) redtop has never failed or hesitated.
