I'll be replacing my 12v battery soon.

What 12v battery do you recommend?

 

You do the research, You pick your style, You get the best price you can.

 

East Penn

 

Something AGM. My 09 still has the battery the last owner stuck in it, got no idea what brand. I don't fix stuff till it needs fixin.

 

got the Optima yellow in mine since years, never had problems.

 

my optima yellow top is from early 2014 and still going

 

Red Optima..7 years old..NO problems..

 

Optima Batteries are overpriced junk. Went through a bunch for years with different boats without issues..... then the Red Top I put in my favorite Oldsmobile that decided it should spring a leak, created a huge mess to clean up. Never going that route again!

Currently have an 11 year old Batteries Plus in the boat that I am waiting to see how long it will go.

 

your opinion Doc, but i don't think so, know also lots of people with 4x4, French and Germany and in the States, that have yellow or red optima's and never had issues.

 

All Johnson Controls automotive batteries are Junk! I wouldn't buy any of their Mexican crap.
