Battery question I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, mods please move if it isn't.
I have a yellow top optima that is at least 7 years old (in it when I bought the car), it's pretty dead at this point. It's been under 30 degrees out for a few weeks now and every time I jump it, it'll start and run but when I let it sit for a few days it needs to be jumped again. I'm thinking at this point it's on its last leg.
I've been reading up on which battery to replace it w/ and I read some reviews saying optima has gone to crap, anyone experience a drop in quality over the past year or so? I've been happy w/ the battery, I've never had to jump it, started no matter how long it sat w/o a problem. I am fine w/ getting another yellow top but not if the line went to ****.
FYI, I have an aftermarket stereo w/ 2 amps and a sub.
Thanks

I've always felt Optima made **** batteries. There's a lot of other options on high performance batteries for car audio (Kinetik, HC power, Odyssey)..
