Have had this battery since November, 2015 Still going strong
I have had the red top in my sport trac for 3 years now and it's awesome, it costs more but worth every penny, oops, nickel. Live in Muskoka where it can get to -40 C, my vehicle lives outside, no garage and starts every time!
I got this battery three years ago. I had it in my car with a big stereo in it. I had it in my 5Liter mustang and now my f150 the same battery never died even when the ice storm happened it cranked my truck no issue recommend to every one
OPTIMA Red Top: NOT a GEL CELL product! It IS an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) A Red Top is NOT a DC (Deep Cycle) battery. You cannot discharge and recharge on a continuous basis. If you have an OLD truck that does that, get yourself an OPTIMA Yellow Top DC and get the alternator (or generator) repaired. Yellow Top DC batteries are also best in RV and Travel Trailer service. I've been running RED Tops and Yellow Top DC/Cranking batteries in commercial service and tractors for over 25 years and have yet to have a problem, within reason. If it's over 5 years old and finally gives up, replace it and then get over it. For a $200 battery used daily at $3.33/month you have gotten your monies worth for 60 months. I have had OPTIMA Batteries here in Yuma, AZ that have lasted 10+ years when used in the proper/expected service. Out here, in real farm country, it can get very HOT in Summers and very COLD, well, you know. OPTIMA's can be mounted down side, UP without issues, get knocked over without a spilling SAFETY ISSUE and can be used in Aircraft service like any approved AGM battery. Most OPTIMA's are 3 year replacements and 2 year replacements with pro-rating for additional age. Go with an OPTIMA and your battery problems won't completely go away, Dreamer... but 12v electrical issues will be reduced considerably! Learn about the RIGHT product for your needs.
I bought this when I moved to Texas, knowing the the heat takes it's toll on liquid batteries, I have left the lights on at the airport, completely discharging the battery, put it on a charger and it fills right back up, I have had this battery installed in my truck for well over 8 years, and though it still works, it is finally getting tired, and I'll be replacing it soon with another "Red Top", so, to be honest, 200 bucks for a battery is pricey sure, but 8 years of service in the Texas Summers and the rest of the time makes me think its well worth the cost, no leaks, no smells, just a rock solid battery that works when you need it to for a good long time!
I bought this battery 3+ years ago, and it still works perfectly even after being discharged when my car alarm went off and I was on vacation for a month and it totally drained the battery.
When I bought my 1996 Sonoma in 2007 one of these batteries was in it. Now in 2014 I had to replace the alternator so I had the battery tested too - It's still fine. as of Feb 10/15
I bought it because it was a gel-type battery and expected it to last like the gel-type battery we had on our '73 Chevy truck which had been in use for 9+ years. This one lasted just 2 months over 5 years. Called to see about a prorated warranty and was told it was warranted for 3 years and nothing more. The battery was dead and apparently shorted internally as the battery charger was pegging at over 15 amps. I could have paid this much money for a top-of-the-line regular battery and had a better service life. According to most of the reviews, my situation is uncommon. That being said, I won't be buying another Optima. I'll either purchase a regular battery or a gel-type from a different manufacturer, certainly not from Optima.
Bought this battery for use in a truck I restored, so not used heavily. Pulled out of vehicle and stored properly every winter. I put the battery back in truck to start it after the 4th winter and nothing. Brought it back to Walmart to check charge and they said the battery will not keep a charge. It seems Optima knew exactly when to cut off the free replacement warranty.
I bought two of these from Walmart for my 2003 GMC Duramax in September 2010. The batteries worked fine until Jan 2015 (52 months). I had not used the truck for a couple of weeks, which has happened many times before. Suddenly both batteries were completely flat. After bringing them indoors to warm up, I re-charged them according to Optima instructions (must have a charged battery hooked up in parallel) but they don't hold a charge for more than a day. When I bought them I thought I was getting extra value for the extra cost. Now I see other online comments and reviews of the Red Tops failing even before the three-year warranty period. Note: the Red Top's warranty is not even pro-rated after 3 years....$250 for a three-year battery! I won't make that mistake again, nor will anyone I know, if they ask my opinion.
