They would last long and outperform all. But let me tell you this the new optimas maybe going back 5 years now are nowhere as good as they use to be.
We use now odessey extreme batteries. I k ow they are expencive but they are worth it. 8 years warranty no questions asked. They use only new pure lead to make their batteries. Unlike other companies this is why they dont charge any core fees. They have very low discharge rate. They can sit in your car for a year without getting drained. The battery has 1500 crancking apms. 1050 cca at 32 deg, and 880 cca at 0 deg. And And yes i didnot pay for mine. Company did
The model numb for our pathy is 34R-PC1500

I think I'll stick with the Everstart MAXX batteries from Walmart for $80.

Had to replace an Everstart after one year. Went to Walmart and they replaced it.
Only time it gurgles is when it's below -20 DegC and I've left it sitting for a couple of days.

Walmart's are plentiful, so it's an easy return, and the stores hours are open later.
Could come in handy on a bad day when you have a dead battery on a Saturday and the auto parts store is closed.

With the purchase of the '12 Xterra to replace my Pathy, I decided to go with a Diehard Platinum AGM battery from Advance Auto Parts. It was $209 at the time, which was earlier this year. It's made by Clarios, which bought out Johnson Controls, and has a 3-year replacement warranty. Compared to the Red top Optima, warranty was the same but it was $60 cheaper. I'll see how it works out!
