Product Description
This product is packaged and shipped with extra protection to help protect your investment. Optima YellowTop batteries are made for the extremes. Optima batteries with patented SPIRALCELL Technology deliver that performance. The deep cycle characteristic of this technology coupled with its extreme resistance to vibration provides performance vehicles with the repetitive power they need in a spill-proof package. If the vehicle has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics, the Optima YellowTop batteries provide the extra performance and deep cycling capability that your vehicle demands. It's perfect for people who are serious about sound. Optima's power is cleaner with higher voltage output than conventional batteries. And they have a greater cycle life so they can be drained and recharged more often. Optima batteries can meet the needs of more enthusiasts in the performance market. Group 51, 35 and 75/25 sizes are made just for your compact power needs. Using Optima SPIRALCELL Technology, cells are tightly compressed into supportive chambers, giving Optima batteries over 15 times more vibration resistance than traditional batteries. This translates into longer battery life. Due to its completely sealed case, the Optima Yellow Top battery is extremely safe and corrosion resistant. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. No matter the conditions, be it dampness, heat, dirt or exposure to extremes, you can count on Optima to deliver uninterrupted power. Optima's ability to hold a higher voltage during the discharge cycle makes it possible to utilize more of the stored power in the Optima compared to ordinary batteries. The YellowTop handles many discharges as well as re-charges without losing significant capacity. Optima is also ideal for seasonal use because of its very low self-discharge rate.

Unfortunately, I was told by Optima that Amazon is not on their authorized retailer list therefore I am unable to take it to a local retailer for warranty support. I also confirmed via my Amazon account that it cannot be returned to Amazon. What to do, what to do. Well, even though it is only 9 months old, I bought a brand new Optima from my local Autozone that I know will be an easy exchange should I ever have an issue again.Now, on to the battery: These have worked well for me in multiple applications from HD trucks to multi-amp-ed Trans Am's and even an off-road Jeep. I've never had one fail until now but be aware that these are not "plug-and-play" batteries like a wet lead-acid type that most people use and/or grew up with when it comes to charging. I'd suggest visiting Optima's web site and reading the differences between their Red, Yellow and Blue top batteries so you understand their application and the type of care and feeding they require. The Yellow covers both cranking amps for starter motors as well as deep-cycle capacity for applications with a large amperage draw such as amplifiers and accessories like winches and such. I've averaged over 6 years out of each battery until I had this one fail and two were going strong when the vehicles left my possession.I'm guessing that a number of those who are saying this is a bad battery or doesn't last haven't taken the time to learn about them. They can be drained completely down and yet recover where a standard battery won't. But, and it is a big but, they must be recovered following very specific procedures and no, you can't simply hook up a charger and expect it to recover automatically. Do some research and you'll confirm what I already know, these are not standard batteries and yes, they are better than your standard wet-cell batteries, in my opinion. For me, they've outlasted every other type of battery I've used and are what I buy when the stock battery dies or when I need more power for accessories. Peace.

You should also know that for marine batteries Otima is strongly reccomending the use of there $200 charger to keep them charged properly.Hello John,Amazon.com is not an authorize online OPTIMA retailer, We do not know where they acquire the OPTIMA batteries nor does Amazon.com honor the OPTIMA warranty.

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.
