Batteries...what's good these days

[ID Bronco]

I have always loved my Optimas, and I am into a new red top about 11 days now, going strong! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones......

I have warranties my odyssey 4 times now in 3 years. It’s just in my Tacoma no real heavy use, but I think that may be the problem.

You have a message.

Do you mean Optima? The yellow top (and red and blue...) are Optima batteries. I don't think AutoZone sells Odyssey batteries.

Sorry, you're right. Optima.

I have had good luck with duralast.


Actually, I have had good luck with every battery I have bought. Eventually they give out, but that is usually long beyond the warranty period.

I need a new battery for the truck.
I see that Advance Auto has Die-Hard Platinum AGM's for $220 for a group 65 batt. when an Odyssey will run $340.
@DAA do you still like the Die-Hard Platinum ?

Just thinking about the batteries in my 2003 Dodge Cummins that I bought new. Those batteries are the original ones and still work perfectly after 18 years in Wyoming. Now I've just jinxed myself and will have to replace them within 2 weeks.

I thought my battery was toast but it’s still hanging on, I was about to pull the trigger on an interstate agm from Costco. Price seemed pretty good, can’t speak for the battery as my cheap ass is just rolling around with my jumper pack until I have time to camp again 😂

I did pick up a mondo jumper pack so maybe I should just use that

I’ve had good luck with Costco batteries and the price is usually the eggs around
