Hello....has anyone replaced their H2 battery an Optima Red Top? If so, which Optima model works in an H2?

I have an '06 H2 SUT and my battery needs replaced. I'm told an Optima would be the better choice

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

 

Optima is the best battery. Thats why they are so expensive. I have red top in my H2. i forget the CCA though. The battery is small but the battery hold down still worked perfect.

 

Thank you for the info! I went ahead & put the Optima Red Top battery in my H2. Its 880 cold cranking amps & 1000 cranking amps. Works like a charm!

 

I see you've already bought the Red Optima, but just my opinion for anyone else looking.
I still have a standard battery in the H2, but I switched to a Yellow Optima in the Viper instead of the red. The Yellow is more powerful and seems to hold up better if it sits for little while and I forget to plug in the Battery Tender (Vipers are notorious for killing batteries after sitting very long (1-2 weeks). If the Yellow will fit, go with it for the extra juice. It's definitely bigger than the Red, but usually not much bigger than a standard battery.

Just my $.02

 

ive read this a few times,been thinking of a backup batt for my work van. i leave a lite on and sometime have start trbl. id just put it inside with a charge wire and switch etc.

so i asked at advance auto abt the optima. they pointed to the batt guru and he said he and his pals have tried them all and the red holds the best ,long term,hard cranking. side by side.

also said both a waste of money compared to their good,standard batts,unless you require a rugged , mount anyway batt and hes an off road guy,says its not needed,,unlees you roll over a lot!! jfwiw

btw, optima batts,apx $222

 

Amazon has them cheaper last time I checked. PLUS, you save on gas to & from a store! lol.
& there's my $0.02!
