Ibrar Jabbar Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 My Optima redtop has decided to pack up after a trickle charge over the weekend. I need to get a replacement ASAP. What do you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Redtops aren't the best at deep cycling unfortunately. Yellow tops are considered the best. Only issue I have with them is they aren't red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Go for a Odyssey battery. The best. Ive been using them for years after a couple yellow tops let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Probably an odyssey racing 30, I'm gunno be running 2 of these as they're small enough to fit behind the rear seat. Or ask LeeP about the kinetic batteries they're probably a bit better and he might be able to do them cheaper than the odyssey batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more do you want for £80 IIRC the standard Toyota one is even cheaper and has the same guarantee. It's all discussed in the battery thread.

Elmo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I bought a Bosch S4 005 yesterday for £56.49 from Euro Car Parts (with a 4 year guarantee), bought it via their eBay shop as it was cheaper than their web site, then collected it from their local store.
