optima all the way!!! so worth the money, but not good idea to mix the colors. Red tops will do you good for many years!

 

Redtops...

 

Some warning's here , never mix batteries in a bank [ a battery bank is an number of batteries tied together to do the same job ] , this mean every aspect of the batteries , age , type , brand , any way you can identify .
There has been a lot of reporting on Optima batteries being defective the last yr or so , so beware of them .
There are only a few manufactures of batteries , but those few make all brands and make them according to the retailer , as an example , wally world , focuses on profit margin , no quality and quality / best was the question at hand .
Then the last is after 35 yrs in the auto repair bis and watching all the products I've sold / installed [ not want come backs ] , over time almost every manufacture of what ever has changed over time , so what was good last yr , can be garbage this yr .

 

I went with the new "AGM" batteries. They're a little pricey, but worth it.
I would not waste money on Optima's any more. I have read too many posts on early failures since they have been bought out.

 

Wally World , they are about $ 78.00 each and Three year free replacement 8 year prorated . Curt G.
