How many years does an Optima last (average). Are they worth it or should I buy a good conventional battery. I only do moderate wheeling at most. If I can't get 4-5 years out of it I probaly won't get one.

 

I've had the same yellow top Optima in my '97 4Runner for about 7 1/2 years. It still works great.

 

7 1/2 years, impressive. How bout the red top? Anyone?

 

Still running the RedTop I bought back in '97 as well. Was in my 4Runner, then moved to 2 different DDs, still going strong.

 

best battery money can buy

 

Nearly 11 years on my red top.

 

Have 5 of them 2 in boat,2 in one truck amd one in my othere truck.Oldest one 8 years old never failed to crank.Try that with a lead acid battery that eats up your battery cables and frame.The oldest one has out lasted two trucks.Hands down I wouldnt buy anything else.

 

Ok, I'm sold.

 

5 years on my Red Top & running on 2nd vehicle.
