Don't recommend Optima these days, I used to be a massive supporter of them.
My old Yellow tops used to last 7-8 years and so far my current red top has shat the bed after only 18 months of daily use and a mates had the same problem with a yellow top and a red top now.
Reports online are riddled with premature failures too, I reckon they've slipped in their manufacturing process or been sold and cheapened which is just poor form considering the prices of them are only going up.
I've gone back to AC Delco and Century.
