Product Description
This product is packaged and shipped with extra protection to help protect your investment. Optima YellowTop batteries are made for the extremes. Optima batteries with patented SPIRALCELL Technology deliver that performance. The deep cycle characteristic of this technology coupled with its extreme resistance to vibration provides performance vehicles with the repetitive power they need in a spill-proof package. If the vehicle has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics, the Optima YellowTop batteries provide the extra performance and deep cycling capability that your vehicle demands. It's perfect for people who are serious about sound. Optima's power is cleaner with higher voltage output than conventional batteries. And they have a greater cycle life so they can be drained and recharged more often. Optima batteries can meet the needs of more enthusiasts in the performance market. Group 51, 35 and 75/25 sizes are made just for your compact power needs. Using Optima SPIRALCELL Technology, cells are tightly compressed into supportive chambers, giving Optima batteries over 15 times more vibration resistance than traditional batteries. This translates into longer battery life. Due to its completely sealed case, the Optima Yellow Top battery is extremely safe and corrosion resistant. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. No matter the conditions, be it dampness, heat, dirt or exposure to extremes, you can count on Optima to deliver uninterrupted power. Optima's ability to hold a higher voltage during the discharge cycle makes it possible to utilize more of the stored power in the Optima compared to ordinary batteries. The YellowTop handles many discharges as well as re-charges without losing significant capacity. Optima is also ideal for seasonal use because of its very low self-discharge rate.

111 of 121 people found the following review helpful.This will be a mixed review of sorts.I bought an Optima SC35DA Yellow Top directly from Amazon in August of 2009 and it worked fine until March of 2011. The plastic around the negative battery post just split with gas and gel oozing out.I did not think there was any problem because this Optima battery comes with a three year full replacement warranty.Now the warranty merry go round started.I called Amazon and I was told to call Optima, Optima told me they would not warranty the battery because Amazon is not an authorized reseller, so back to Amazon, then back to Optima and so on.The final result is that Amazon wound up giving me a full refund of the purchase price of the battery. I would rather of had a new battery but I got tired of the BS and aggravation and then I did what others did, I went to a local discount store and bought a cheap battery.What is the point of spending $174.00 on what is supposed to be the best battery only to have it fail very early in its life cycle and then have to argue over getting it replaced?The Optima battery worked for less than two years. So why spend the money on one when you can buy a Wal-Mart special for less than half the price, get it replaced locally or just throw it out and buy a new one.I do have to thank Amazon for finally giving me the refund but there was too much aggravation involved. From all of the complaints I have read about the lack of a warranty when the Optima Battery is bought from Amazon, you would think Amazon would stop selling it.This is exactly why I gave it only one star.I can only recommend that no one should by any Optima Battery Product from Amazon unless they are fully aware that there is no warranty at all.
20 of 23 people found the following review helpful.Wow! I am both relieved and impressed. I just purchased two of these batteries. After reading previous horror stories about damaged/no packaging I have to admit I was hesitant. I have had other problems with Amazon.com in the past. I just couldn't resist the price here, and with free shipping it sealed the deal. I guess whoever does the shipping here got the message about poor/damaged packaging. Mine were both delivered undamaged by UPS(this is an extraordinary occasion), and to my surprise the boxes were designed like tanks. Extra thick cardboard boxes with an entire lining of corrugated cardboard reinforcement all the way around the battery. The batteries inside were in perfect condition!!! A+ job here by Amazon.com!!! BTW shipping was also lighting fast....I ordered on Sat and batteries arrived on Tues.
