How many people have Optima Batteries and have they ever given you problems (considering you have a system)?

I opted for a Optima,I ran my Yellow top in my old Explorer which had a 2000 watt stereo and had no problems{works great},Then I transplanted it in my Max which had a 1000 watt stereo and still no problems.All in all it has about 50K on it and has never died or any thing.I strongly recommend it to any one looking for a durable,reliable battery.

and I have had no problems with extended play with the car off. The maxima has an excellent electrical system thats further reinforced with the Optima battery. Definately worth it.

I have an Optima Yellow Top. It's pretty awesome, It eliminated the need for a capacitor for my amp

Maxima97GLE

do u get any lights dimmimg when ur bass hits?

I30CeFiRo

Nope, my lights dimmed before I got the Optima, after I installed it the dimming went away. Thats why I didn't need a capacitor anymore after getting the Optima

Maxima97GLE

well.. i'll keep my cap in... i just wont buy the other one i was gonna get... instead... i'll just use that money to buy the battery

Okay, quick question. I also have an Optima yellow, but my lights still dim if I'm really bumpin'. I have had no problems with starting or anything, but I certainly don't like it doing that. I'm really not pushin' that many watts, ~700. So what should I do, short of putting in a second battery? Caps, I'm assumming. Also, why does it seem hard as hell to ground properly - I'm referring to that annoying ground hum that allows you to hear the engine? I've checked it a couple of times and seems good only to start up again after driving for a while. Oh well. Thanx

Really? I'm pushing 1000w (600w sub amp and 400 watt separates amp) and after I put in the Optima, it stopped dimming. Maybe your wires are too thin??

This is with the stock J hooks and a wood platform on the bottom to raise the battery up. I got some chrome J hooks now that have more threads on them. Now, it doesn't need a platform.

check the ground for your head unit and amp... thats usually the cause of road noise... using a 4-gauge power wire and 4-gauge ground... but make sure evrything is rounded good... get some self-drilling screws and drill a new ground in the trunk under the mat for a good ground

ME TOO!!!

I have an Optima yellow top... relocated to the trunk. That freed-up some space under the hood for a cold air intake. No problems to report.

How much... Do you have the deep cycles in red? Have you ever heard of Stinger batteries?
