 Optima Batteries Jul 12, 2010
I have four of these in various cars and they all function quite well. They are a battery that doesn't like to sit for long periods of time, at least with the red tops. If the voltage drops down very much a normal battery changer will think the battery is dead and will not charge them. The newer style battery chargers have the ability to charge them. These are very good batteries in hot weather as well where most of the time a battery will only last two to three years.
 Does not last! May 22, 2010
I first bought this battery because i liked the idea of the deep cycle + I needed plenty of CCA. The first one failed in 2 years, around 24-25 months. I decided to replace it with the same battery, the new one failed in 15 months! that's 1 year! I never even used the deep cycle ability on this new one. I'm using it's warranty, hopefully they won't give me a hassle.
But, considering both batteries died in less than 25 months, I would not recommend this battery. My car, 02 Honda accord needs plenty of CCA to start and this one stopped providing it way too early. For the price, it is really not worth it.
HARD TO KEEP CHARGED May 18, 2010
18 MONTHS AGO I BOUGHT A OPTIMA BATTERY FOR MY JAGUAR, A CAR THAT GETS VERY LIMITED USE.
AFTER SITTING UNUSED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO START THE CAR.
LAST MONTH I TRIED TO RETURN IT TO AUTO ZONE, BUT THEY COULD'NT ADJUST IT UNDER WARRANTY,
IT HAD TO BE RETURNED TO OPTIMA FOR REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH TOOK 2 WEEKS.

 Sears Platinum Battery (Replaced Optima Yellow Top) Mar 16, 2010
The Sears DieHard Platinum (AGM) blows away the Optima Yellow Top. Not even close.
930 CCA, 130 minute reserve, 4 year free replacement (100 month pro rated warranty).
Drops in without adapters or extra parts. $189 every day price at Sears.
Cranks faster, runs better, brighter lights, audio sonics improved, etc.
Optima batteries are overrated, period. Hands down, the Sears DieHard Platinum is superior.
Optima Yellow Top (2 Stars) / Sears DieHard Platinum (5 Stars) NO CONTEST.
