Has anyone used an Optima battery? Im probably going to put one in. The price difference between optima and the battery I usually get is like $20

Those are the ones that come in either yellow or red right?

Optima is okay, they used to be a fantastic brand but recently the quality has gone down.

I usually recommend the red-top only if you need a smaller battery for a specific build, the yellow-top is needed in these cars because we need a high CCA

I usually recommend duralast gold and interstate batteries to people.
