That original optima (even though it says Johson controls this was in the early years) was a real optima as in pure lead, optima (before the buyout) recipes and etc. Once Johnson controls took over everything changed and I can promise you that any new optima simply will not last as long. They are not the same batteries. I work in auto parts and I have personally seen 10+ year old optimas on several occasions but anything under 8 years old seems to be closer to 2-3ish years before they come back dead.

Remember a few weeks ago, someone telling me to get a Northstar? A few days later, the kids tell me the 2016 Ford Fusion is flashing a message before starting, "CHANGE BATTERY SOON". Went to my local "Northstar" dealer in Culver City. It's raining. It's early morning, before the kids head off to college classes. Battery store tells me they don't have a Northstar that will fit. They have the exact H6 Optima that does fit. They test the battery and tell me it has 80% life left. Not wanting any Daddy come fix phone calls; especially in the rain, I say, give me the battery. They let me pull it into their garage. Not wanting to pay the $20 install fee, they let me do it myself. Took me less than 10 minutes. That H6 Battery weighs 54 pounds. Significantly heavier and bigger than what was put in by the factory. If I had to guess, the old one probably weighed 15 pounds. But yeah. I erased the message and it hasn't returned. Feels good knowing the kids won't be bugging me for a new battery, for a while.

6:26 Starting with the negative post is best but anyone can actually WELD a wrench to both of their top posts if they're not careful. 😲😧 Or worse, touch a metal brake/ABS line and actually burn a hole in it ...and potentially set the pressurized brake fluid on fire! 😱😩Using an insulated socket wrench is a GREAT idea. (or a wrench that is shorter than the distance between the posts 😉) Harbor Freight has a decent one btw. Helps to use some temporary zip ties to hold back stiff battery cables away from the battery drop-in-zone. Be careful with all metal hold-down hardware as well. Don't set anything on or near the battery posts that could roll or fall onto both of them. If you're wearing shorts and have some sweaty knees/legs resting on a chrome bumper you can get a nice "tingle" if you grab the positive side first. (and yeah, I've managed to do all of the above while doing electrical work on roughly 9 to 10,000 cars over the years. Oops🤭🙄)

It doesn’t need an adapter to bolt right in, the terminals are swapped so the cables attach like stock and it does have a deeper cycle by almost 20 amp hours and a hit more cranking amps as well. So it’s a bit better across the board but to your point... my old r35 was fantastic and ran my fridge fine for all trips

sean peterson I have to change battery and was thinking about trying the optima. Most reviews say new ones are not worth the money.

A battery that you had for 17 years (?) UNBELIEVABLE. I live in the hottest area in AZ. And everyone here says to change your battery every two years due to heat exceeding 120 degrees during the summer months. Since I had a new battery fail me a few years ago at a busy intersection on a two year old vehicle, I've been replacing my batteries on my five vehicles every two years. Any idea what the life expectancy would be on hot climets?

Why would I lie about this? Not getting paid here... other than scoring a new battery like I mentioned

C'mon, who Hasn't ever had a similar shocking experience?? By the way, What did you ever do with the rear axle damage on the Road to Sema run ??

Still don’t fully understand the CA and CCA. Is there a finite number of Amps you can use before the battery drains? How many amps does a Jeep need to start up? Correct me if I’m off here... let’s say a Jeep needs 100 amps to start... (I actually have no idea the actual number) that leaves 828 amps that could be used for lights, fridges, radios, etc before the Jeep would not be able to start... am I thinking of that correctly? And the Cold Cranking Amps is how many you have in extreme cold conditions?

Cold Cranking Amps is just a standard of measuring battery output during extreme conditions i.e. cold. The Cranking Amps is standard temp output. There is a number of amps that are used to start an engine but you are forgetting that the alternator usually recharges that loss with 15 - 25 min of run time on an average vehicle. Deep cycle batteries become important to users that have accessories that demand more than the alternator can supply.

Yeah, I knew the alternator recharged the battery and ran the show while the car was on... didn’t realize the battery was a “backup” for the alternator though. Makes me wonder why a beefier, higher capacity alternator isn’t a typical upgrade. (Possibly because people don’t want to always run their vehicle to run accessories?) So a deeper battery gives you more “backup” as needed.

High amp alternators are a very common upgrade and some of my Jeeping buddies run dual "deep cycle" batteries just to have that extra reserve. I have run my vehicle interior lights and ARB refrigerator for multiple days without starting the Jeep and the Yellow Top had plenty of power to start the Jeep when I was ready to go so I don't seem to need more for now.

I have a question about Optima batteries. If I put one in my Ram how long can I expect it to last?

The one in my Ram is going on 14 years.

You forgot to cover the Positive Terminal. Fire will burn both to the ground if the battery comes loose or you forget a tool and then go for a drive. I hate to be that guy, but there is a good reason the factory put one there and ALL racetrack safety inspections require it be covered.
