Trying to decide which battery to buy optima yellow top or Die Hard platinum both about the same price.Which one is better. :hmm:

My Die Hard died on me after a year but my Optima has been kicking for the last 5.

My red top is going on it's 5th year, has been through my last three trucks, and is still going strong.

Yellow Optima here no problems

Red Optima in my GTO. Best battery I've ever had.

Personally I like the brand that TSC sells. Just pulled one from my truck thats been in there since 2001. It has a ton of cranking amps and a good reserve capacity. I also like Deka's. The last one i had in a vehicle had a higher reserve capacity than both my brothers yellow top and dads red top. Thing is i can't find many of them around here anymore

x2. I paid $125 for my Red Top, and that was from another GTO owner (the Red Top is in the car).

i work at advance so any battery 1.5 years old has to be pulled from the shelf and sold as USED. I got it for 45 plus tax. Still had perfect charge put it in my truck fired right up and worked ever since.

Your lucky, Just paid 200.00 for my optima.Installed it and happy with it.

Optima batteries for the win!

Interstate megatron plus or Bosch. Seen far too many Optimas die after only a year or two or 5. I'm in the minority though. Had a Bosch that lasted 8 years on an underdriven import alternator, same with an interstate megatron.
I'd use a Duralast/CSK battery before I'd use an Optima... strictly because if you have one go bad any autozone will replace it on the spot. I had one in my BMW and it was a great battery. no surprise though, because in the end, all those mentioned + Diehard + Walmart/OEM are all made by the same company, Johnson Controls.

the only way i'd ever have a n optima, would be if it was going inverted or laid down.

I would go Optima. I have used an assortment of different batteries in my trucks and my wife's cars and I have had the best luck with Optima. I will soon be buying an Optima blue top for my boat and when the battery dies in my truck one day I will be putting one in it.

Exactly the same reason why I run Walmart's Everstart brand.

"Why did they put a guarantee on the box?"
"Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time."
