OPTIMA Batteries High Performance D35 YELLOWTOP Dual Purpose Sealed AGM Car, Truck and SUV Battery, 620 CCA, Maintenance Free, Versatile Mounting

I bought this battery September 2016. Been running it in a 14 XV Crosstrek with pretty powerful multi amp sound system. Battery just died today. FEB. 22 2026. Pretty amazing battery but price has gone up so much I might have to try a cheaper alternative.

I've consistently used Optima Yellow Top D35 on my weekend fun car (heavily modified 2002 WRX) that sits during the week and sometimes the battery drains down. It start very strong every time. Most recently I left the car for about 3 weeks just after installing the new battery and without much driving on it, and came back expecting the battery to need a jump, but I turned the ignition and it fired right up. The extra cost is a million times justified in my mind considering my experience with cheap batteries that last about a year or two. I've had Optima Yellows last 8+ years easy and have not seen deterioration in quality in the maybe 15 years I've ran them on my two cars. My "battery for life"

I purchased a yellow top battery through amazon 12-22 and it is not holding a charge anymore. It only shows 11.2 volts. I have been buying Optima batteries for over 30 years for my vehicles. I own at least 3-5 vehicles at any given time. I started when I was young due to stereo systems but continued the trend because I felt they were a superior product. The last two I have gotten have failed at 3.5 years and this one has started failing at less than 2 years and now will not hold 12 volts. I sent an inquiry and got no response. Can someone help me with this? After words this is what ended up happening :through email they were not helpful but when amazon provided a number the process for warranty was fast and easy. They shipped out a new battery within a week. It was nice to see they have a person on the other end helping you through the process . Nice touch.

The battery's positive terminal is bulging up and cracking around it. It has no charge and will not hold a charge. Amazon required a code that was emailed to me that I had to be home to provide the delivery person, without telling me I had to do any of that until the attempted delivery. This delayed the delivery until the following evening just to receive a defective battery.

Confirmed fit in 2001 Porsche 911 (996) 3.4L Coupe. This battery is the best battery you will get for your Porsche. Typically I get about 7 years out of the yellow top and most of us don't daily our 911s so a deep cycle battery like this one won't let you down. Deep cycle batteries are tough and Optima gel cell batteries resist vibration, which is the primary killer of a battery. My 996 tends to sip down electricity just sitting. Repeated draining of the battery will kill a standard battery , even a red top Optima... which are trash (IMO) but the yellow won't suffer nearly as bad as a standard battery. Car cranks nice and strong every time even if she sits for a week or two. Pro Tip - Mounting : This battery is NOT a direct fit to the battery box. Optima doesn't make a direct fit replacement battery for a Porsche 996 at the time of this post. A custom spacer is needed to lock down the battery so it doesn't move. Some people use a high density plastic, like a thick cutting board to fashion one. I used a 12mm or 13mm combo wrench as a spacer. It was the perfect size, shape and had the rigidity to do the job. I was able to really crank it down and the wrench had enough tension to act like a strong spring on the hold down tabs of the battery. This might sound like a "backyard fix". It works, and works great. I have had the battery in the Porsche for a year and 6,000 mi now. It has withstanded a lot of spirited driving , jars and bumps and still it's solid. Battery terminals are in the correct orientation and the Factory Porsche Battery cables are plenty long enough to reach.

After doing a lot of research on AGM batteries, I finally decided on this one. This was a Birthday gift for my son, to be installed in his '03 Subaru Forester. I started out looking at the Optima Red Top, but the reviews were not as as good & people I know have had problems with their Red Top battery failing. Now the choice was between the Sears DieHard Platinum & the Optima Yellow Top. The Sears DieHard Platinum looks like a very good battery & it's said to be made by Odyssey. Not really sure that's true? What pushed me over to the Optima Yellow Top was the heaver weight, much higher cost & shipping hassles if I went with the Sears DieHard Platium. The Optima Yellow Top was delivered quickly by UPS. It comes in a heavy-duty, double walled cardboard box. The battery inside the box was protected with more cardboard packing & the top of the battery was covered with a protective plastic cover. With the attached removable lift handle, the battery was easy to remove from the shipping box. The battery was in perfect condition! We found the Optima Yellow Top sits lower than a standard type 35 battery. Not a problem, since a spacer is provided, which snaps onto the bottom of the battery. This made the battery fit perfectly in my son's '03 Subaru Forester. The battery comes fully charged, so once we hooked up the cables, the engine started right up! We would recommend this battery & the plan is to install one of these in our other 2 vehicles. ► Update - October 23, 2012 Since I wrote this review, I bought another Optima Yellow top for our '95 Neon Sport. I should note that this isn't a direct replacement for the stock battery in the stock location! We relocated the battery to the trunk & a sealed battery (less chance of gassing) was the way to go. We completed this project over the summer & it was a complete success! As to the previous battery installed in the my son's '03 Subaru Forester. It's been 100% trouble free! :) ► Update - July 13, 2016 We have 3 of these now & 100% trouble free! :)

Producto correcto entregado en tiempo y forma

Expensive, but an excellent battery: Use in a 2010 Yaris. The last one was good for 8 years and could have been more (left my dome light in my car on in and very cold weather=completely dead). The one I bought from this seller got damaged in shipping, but I did get a full refund. I had to buy another one from a store near me ( needed one asap).And I also have one in a Ford escape 2003.

a lot better than motomaster eliminator
