SpiralCell Technology
At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is a series of individual spiral-wound cells comprised of two pure (99.99%) lead plates coated in a precise coating of lead oxide. One coated plate is positive and the other is negative.
The unique manufacturing process of spiral winding continuous lead plates is far more precision-controlled and expensive than building traditional flat plate AGM batteries. Custom automated cell-winding machines are required to maintain the close tolerances required to maintain quality and performance. Critical tolerances, temperatures, humidity and automated processes are maintained and constantly monitored.
OPTIMA has built over 100 million individual spiral cells since the early 1990’s.
What's the difference between OPTIMA RedTop, YellowTop, and BlueTop Batteries?

|
|
---|---|---|
RedTopFor normal engine starting where an alternator immediately monitors the state of charge and provides energy to the battery whenever it is needed. This would describe most stock vehicles, including: automotive and RV underhood starting, heavy equipment where starting is the primary function, and diesel vehicles without aftermarket electronics. |
YellowTopUse this when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting, such as vehicles with multiple electronic accessories and vehicles without alternators. This can also include vehicles with a lot of factory electronics such as power sliding doors and a DVD player. Examples also include: racing vehicles without a charging system, dedicated drag racers, diesel powered vehicles with aftermarket electronics, and vehicles with inverters, winches, or other accessories. |
BlueTopThe BlueTop starting battery (dark gray case) is to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required and it should never be used for cycling duty. Use a BlueTop starting battery for marine applications and RVs when the battery's only function is engine starting. The dual purpose BlueTop (light gray case) can be used for both starting and deep cycling -- it is a true deep cycle battery with extremely high cranking power. Uses include: trolling motors, marine applications with heavy electrical accessories, and RVs. |
Product Description
Optima 35 RedTop is designed to deliver high power cranking ability even in harsh weather conditions. This battery is great for heavy use by hot rods and off-roaders with its leak-proof, high power, and starting ability. The unique SpiralCell design provides a strong and clean power source, ensuring the safety of you, your family and the environment. The higher reserve capacity gives you a longer shelf-life to give you the power when you need it, where you need it.

UPDATE: Feb 22, 2013
-------
OK - it doesn't roar in the winter - it clicks! it hasn't dropped below 30 degrees here, and all I get are clicks in the morning... I've disconnected my stereo turn-on lead, so the second battery and amps are not engaged by the PAC-500 solenoid, and not pulling from the alternator while driving, or coincidentally pulling the main battery (Optima) down during start. I'm using a jump-starter to start my truck when I hear the clickety-click. I will see if this clicking crap keeps up, and when I'm bored as hell, like I am right now, I will come back and update this posting!
UPDATE: MAR 18, 2013
-------
Seems to be fine.
1) My negative cable end was tightened to the max, and was still loose on batt terminal, so I squeezed it together with pliers, and tapped it back down onto the battery terminal.
2) I had the batt tested before step 1 above and it was at 33%.
3) I drove truck to charge batt, but had to use my jump starter a couple more times in morning & once after work
4) I disconnected my stereo, drove it on the hwy, etc to charge up the battery
5) Has been starting just fine, even on coldest mornings here which have been down to 31F.
FINAL UPDATE: JUNE 16, 2013
-------------------------
I DITCHED this battery last week for a DIFFERENT BRAND, and now my truck starts every morning - no clicks!!!
Fortunately I had a jump box that started my truck every time this thing decided it wanted to take a nap.
I replaced it with an O'reilly Autoparts Extreme battery. The last Extreme I had lasted 3 1/2 yrs in the Georgia heat, and with the factory Rockford Fosgate entertainment and Nav package. The Extreme has a 5 yr warranty that I did not use the last time, cause I could not remember where I bought the damn thing from. - LOL - yeah I know! Anyway, seems only a small percentage of these Optima batteries actually work. Shame, because they built such a great reputation for excellent batteries, now it's ruined. - These new ones are pure crap!
180 Degree turn on my initial review - This is a piece of Shieza!!! No Warranty - No Return - No Working = No Buy!!!
*Update*
I ended up buying an extra hold down bar, shown in the picture, and it worked like a charm. Now that battery will not budge.
