Great battery - Poor packaging : Optima Batteries 8042-218 D75/25 YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery
This is replacing the same battery on my car - a 2002 Subaru WRX.
PROS:
- Strong battery
- AGM technology > No liquid and non-spillable
- Reliable power > Won't die immediately and leave you stranded on the side of the road when it's weakening.
- Side posts are helpful when you have a lot of electronics going on and need another connection.
- High quality construction (save for the Amazon packaging and eventual shipping damages)
CONS:
- The box in which it shipped was snug and contained virtually no protection. My battery had 3 chipped plastic corners. The battery was 100% functional however.
- The CA (Cranking Amps) and CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) numbers dropped a bit since 4 years ago. Not sure if Optima is making a weaker battery or just more accurate specs. It is the same item number as my old battery and that had over 800 CA and 660 CCA. This one is showing 770 CA and 620 CCA. Weird.
- CCA not as high as Optima Red Top line; can be an issue if you experience very cold winters.
- Heavy (~37 lbs.)
