Decent battery but not the best... Had another one, similar to the one I bought now for my Dodge Journey, and within 4 years the battery died on me. And I give it 3 starts, only, because it's not the cheapest (£157) and when the battery came, the gates were shut and the battery was thrown over the gates, and even though I was only a few seconds behind DHL driver, this driver threw the battery over the gates like it was nothing, I refused the delivery and told him to take it away, and when I called the customer services and offered a video from my CCTV camera, with the driver throwing the the battery 3 metres over the gates, the customer service person got annoyed and he was trying to get rid of me, not being interested in what has happened.. And yes, the battery has been replaced, but the service and experience wasn't a very pleasant one

In my view this is the best battery available to combine high cracking amps and high normal service power drain. The Chrysler Grand Voyager mkV with electric everything and 4 heated seats, requires a powerful battery, this is it.

I needed a battery to fit a specific battery case and this was perfect. Only time will tell if the battery is as good as I hope - these are expensive but my choices were limited. Great service from Tayna as always.

Great battery, because of its rounded corners it fits very well in a small cupboard on our boat for the engine battery.

A great cranking battery. I use these on high compression race engines and they really last and last. Don’t like being completely discharged but other than that they’re A1. Really prompt delivery from Tanya and extremely well packaged.

First class product and first class service. This is the third battery I've bought from Tayna one being identical to this one. It is fitted to a 2.8 diesel Jeep Cherokee and is working well giving great confidence.

Optima batteries are just the worst. I have had over 5 of these batteries from various suppliers as they are the recommended type for my Chrysler and the longest one lasted was 2 years. Most failed within 1 year. Now using a Bosch S5 and it is just perfect.

Phoned Tayna to see whether a smaller gel battery would suit my off-roader and a very helpful advisor went through whether I was running winch etc which I'm not and said the redtop Optima would be better for my purpose than the (more expensive) yellow-top I was looking at. Delivered the next day and on fitting to the vehicle - it's great. Great advice, service and competitively-priced - brilliant!
