Product Description

Product Description

Optima D34/78 YellowTop battery provides the extra performance and deep-cycling capability that your vehicle demands if it has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics. The unique SpiralCell design provides a strong and clean power source, ensuring the safety of you, your family and the environment. The Optima battery is ideal for seasonal use because of its very low self-discharge rate. That means you can store your seasonal vehicles all winter without regular charging and still spring out of the starting block when winter is over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it!!!!, October 5, 2009

Got the Yellow top for my van, thinking they are the best, and would last longer than my OEM did. 2 years. Well here I am 2 years later with a Top of the line battery, and it won't hold a charge. Could have spent 1/2 the money or less, and pobably would still have a pro-rated battery warranty, or even still a viable battery. Time to go back to Sears I guess...Hope others have better luck....

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the hype or the money, January 9, 2008

By	Mark Sanchez (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

This battery did everything I wanted. It powered my HDTV during tailgating for four hours and started the truck with no problem. Just what I was looking for.
