Optima Batteries OPT8003-151 34R RedTop High-Performance Starting Battery - Perfect for Cars, Trucks & Marine Vehicles - Reliable Power in Extreme Weather Conditions

Bought it 30 bucks cheaper from Amazon arrived when they said and was a easy change out.Easy to order and get and installPlenty of power easy to installLasted a year and a half, not like they used to. Buy another brand, quality seems to be lacking lately.I've had about a dozen or so Optimas over the past years, and some of them last, some don't. This 34R fits my 2007 Odyssey perfectly, and comes with the required spacer for the bottom. Drop it in, hook it up, start the van. No problems. My previous one lasted 7 years, and was still going strong but the top was cracking. In the interest of safety and not getting stranded, I just decided to replace it.Update: This one failed spectacularly after 4 years. One day it was working fine. Next day... nothing. Voltage at 5.5V. Completely dead. I'm on the fence as to whether or not to use Optima anymore. Looking back, the old ones, made in USA, are the ones that really lasted. New ones don't last.Update to the above update: So it turned out that my Odyssey had a faulty A/C relay, and it was getting stuck intermittently and draining the battery when the car was parked. I used a non-standard charger (my solar charge controller) and was able to bring the battery back from the dead. Also replaced the faulty relay in the car. Considering that all the other Optima batteries that I've used have also lasted 7+ years, I'm changing my rating back to 5 stars.Sadly the terminals are on the wrong side of the battery. i had to relocate some of the wiring to get the batteries connected to the existing cables, but can't lock the battery down based on having to turn a bit diagonal. the original battery have the terminals on the left side while this one was on the right. Probably should have returned, but with 2 batteries it just doesn't seem worth the hassle. - I was able to get the battery on the passengers side locked in (barely) but with the wiring on the positive cable on the drivers side, no way.I'm super pleased with my purchase. I can't speak to longevity since I've only had this battery for a few months. I'd anticipate giving it 5 stars If you asked me in a couple of years. It came with everything needed to mount in my '09 Silverado and was in really good packaging. There were a lot of other adapter pieces too, I'm assuming they were for different applications. Don't hesitate to buy if you're looking for a good rugged truck battery!WorksThis item was ridiculously overpriced and the whole experience a disaster. My daily driver suddenly lost a cell and wouldn’t hold a charge. I heard good things about Optima however the seller priced this normally $249.00 battery at over $410.00 plus free shipping. Initially I purchased it and asked for a rush on the shipping. The very next day I found a similar “AGM” battery through interstate batteries and it was local and half the price of the optima. I immediately fired off a DO NOT SHIP email to the seller in B.C. Who had plenty of time to cancel the order since I placed the original order on a Thursday and then asked to cancel on Friday and nevertheless in the interest of making a buck knowing batteries are non returnable, the seller shipped the following Monday anyway. I had no choice but to wait for its arrival and refuse shipment on the advice of ups as this was my only way to prove it was never used or installed. It finally got back to the seller and they pretended to be closed so as to not accept the return. After several emails to the seller I finally got them to accept the return and refund my money minus a $45.00 charge for my Amazon Prime Free Shipping. $45.00 doesn’t exactly seem like free shipping to me especially since I wrote them a day after the initial purchase to cancel the order. Would never do business with dishonest folks like these again and apparently Amazon Prime offers no protection against this type of seller and they never even offered to waive the one way shipping fee. I cancelled my prime membership the very next day. I did buy locally though and got a better AGM battery at half the price through Interstate batteries which is owned and run by good honest Christian people unlike the dishonest folks out west who ripped me off and Amazon Prime which hardly seems worth it if it exposes you to dishonest business people. Now we wait for an embellished version of events from the seller in response to what I’ve told you above. Take it away boys…
