Review: Good deal, great battery - Great price on a great product. Performance is excellent as always from optima. Use two of these in a camper Vanagon. They have enough CCA to use as a primary starter, and plenty of AH to use as the "house" battery. Have a similar set in my 2nd Gen Cummins that have lasted quite a while as well
Review: Perfect, BUT might need to adjust factory lines. - Purchased 3: September of 2020 I've bought two of these for my 2015 Equinox LT (Mothers vehicle) & 2012 Chevy Malibu LS (personal vehicle), and one as a spare. Despite the amount of horrible reviews on this page, I researched it this is basically one of if not the best battery. Now while I don't plan to fully utilize it's capabilities (maybe I'll add running AUXILIARY lights), I wanted it because of its impeccable qualities (Cold cranking, long life, not lead acid, amp draw). I do believe it's worth it for the price, BUT if you need to do alterations on your vehicle consider getting help. (I did it myself and as an Engineer it wasn't to hard just not alot of work room). Totally worth the money. 💯💯👍👍 NOTE: - The manufacturer was correct and that alot of vehicles won't work for this. (both my chevys technically aren't compatible, and my Outback didn't have a battery bracket (so I got a battery reloacter and modified it)) - Reguardless of cold/Heat car will always start - If you forget to turn off the headlights or Interior light, the battery won't be dead the following day. - If your alternator fails on the road (I.E. Battery light), you can drive for several miles with no problem (when I was in this situation, I had driven 30miles in traffic to get home & the car was fine.) - If you aren't sure if this will fit. Autozone carries Optima Now, so ask a clerk there if you can test fit the battery. (Vehicle photos have been provided) Rather: [2012 Chevy Malibu LS] I had to straightened out the termial connectors to make them fit, thank goodness the factory lines have enough slack. (As of February 08, 2023 the Malibu is still running) (I have since sold this car, loved it to peices) Rather: [2015 Chevy Equinox LT] This one was the most challenging, since the factory lines are backwards (meaning when you rotate the battery 180 degrees to have the right orientation ( "↕️↕️ not ↗️↖️" ) the male leads are 4 inchs too far from the female connectors). I had to cut the original heads off the lines and extend them by 6ins so I'd have plenty of slack. That job took me 5hrs to do and it tuned out near flawless. The only issues is that the bracket that secures the battery is now 1.5ins higher then the original postion and when you place everything back together. The hood closes, but there is a slight 3cm gap at the driverside lamp (maybe I'll correct this later, not a big deal). (As of February 23, 2023 Equinox is still running) Rather: [2008 Subaru Outback] Fits nearly perfectly, but if your car doesn't have battery terminal covers. I would suggest getting some, so that the hood/bonnet doesn't ground the terminals out. (As of February 23, 2023 Outback is still running)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: so if the seller IS optima, how do they get out of honoring warranty?**
A: The above answer is NOT TRUE. Despite the warranty information above saying that you should contact Amazon for warranty claims, I contacted them for my battery that went bad within the 36 month period (less than 24) and they told me that they can not offer a refund or honor the warranty and that I had to contact the manufacturer. I responded that the PDF linked on the product description said to contact the online seller for warranty claims and got another reply saying that they will only refund within the 30day period. They are refusing to honor the warranty.

**Q: Does this battery need charging for first time use**
A: I have purchased about 10 optima batteries over the last 20 years - they all were charged and ready to go as received.

**Q: Good morning, will this work in a Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi engine?**
A: The battery comes with spacers and attachments to fit most vehicles

**Q: Will this cover the whole battery area of a 2001 lexus gs430? I have red top one and it doesn't**
A: Well you can answer that yourself, go measure the battery area of the Lexus and match it up to the dimensions shown for this battery.  It is approximately the same size as the Red Top.  Covering the battery area of the car should not be the measure of a battery replacement it should be the Cranking Amps and Rating of the battery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Performance and Reliability for any car
*by N***A on March 12, 2017*

Optima Yellow top is the absolute best battery you can put in your vehicle. And I will tell why ... I put them in all my cars. I have had 6 cars carry the yellow top. They have the cranking power to turn over high compression v-8's and just recently installed two into my dad's 2000 Ford F350 Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel. My last yellow top battery lasted 7 years (most batteries last 4-5 years tops), and this battery was used in my 1995 Jeep Wrangler off-road trail rig running a 8000lb winch, 6 off road lights and a stereo with amps and subs. The yellow top is a duel cycle battery. Meaning it is both a starting battery and a deep cycle battery. As a deep cycle battery it will withstand regular discharging and recharging without damage. Where normal batteries will go deceased from multiple discharges/charges. Also these a gel batteries which can be mounted in any position and will not leak. They also withstand vibration better tham common lead-acid batteries which is the most common cause of death to a battery. As a bonus , because they are sealed hydrogen gas will not form over the battery making them safer and corrosion resistant. Stay away from the Red Top , I have tried them 3 times now and they only last about a year before a cell goes dead ... at least that has been my experience. I have heard some people with red top lasting 6+ years, others say the same as myself and had problems. Pro tip - Use Solid Zinc Military battery terminals for solid performance and reliabilty.
