yellow top power
I AM A BIG FAN OF OPTIMA BATTERIES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THEM OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ONE YET. I CURENTLY HAVE TWO IN MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WITH A CONTINUES DUTY BATTERY ISOLATOR. THE RESERVE POWER ON A GROUPE 34/78 YELLOW AND RED TOP IS A 120 MINUTES. WITH HARD HITTING CLEAN BASS. I HAVE A RED TOP UNDER THE HOOD AND THE YELLOW TOP IN THE BACK AND I ALWAY HAVE CLEAN POWER GOING TO MY AMPS WITHOUT FEAR OF KILLING MY STARTING BATTERY

Optima Deep Cycle Yellow
Great Battery. I use lots of accessories and with a high output ALT this battery does the job. If you run AMPS etc this is the battery for you. Lots of reserve power for the Optima Yellow Category. I recommend it as your next Battery....

Super Fast Delivery
Battery was delivered in just one day after order, using standard shipping which cost just $5. Product was as advertised.

NOT Happy
Slow delivery, then the battery was damaged when it finally arrived. The case was smashed, but it never leaked! It looked like it was dropped. Poor packaging. 47 LB in a simple cardboard box? Amazon's return page says its not returnable. BS!

I saved nothing and wasted lots of time with this purchase. GRRRRRRRR!!!!

Not worth the hype or the money
There's a lot of un-due praise for Optima batteries. I believe their reputation is over deserving. Granted batteries don't last long in Phoenix, I was expecting more than the 2 years I got out of my Yellow Top Optima; their capacity and life is not much different than cheaper quality batteries.

Negs:
- The warranty is very poor, nowhere near the level of the competition.
- I expected a quality deep cycle AGM to last a lot longer than just over 2 years.

Pros:
- Worked well under heavy current loads. I run 5 amplifiers that draw about 80-100 amps. The Optima helped buffer the headlight-dimming effect I used to have w/ my stock battery.

Overall a good battery, but at this heavy price I would expect a battery to have a warranty to back it up past 18 months and to last longer than 2 years. If you're spending this much, check out the Diehard Platinum or others first, you'll be glad you did.
