MAJOR CAR BATTERY BRANDS RANKED WORST TO BEST

2. Optima

Optima batteries stand out with their cool six-pack shape and spiral-cell design. They’re built to be spill-proof and vibration-resistant — and they look nothing like a typical car battery. They aren’t cheap (around $250 for a Ford Ranger), but they’re dependable and backed by a good warranty.

The RedTop is perfect for most vehicles, while YellowTop AGMs are better for cars loaded with electronics. Just a heads-up: warranties might not apply if you buy from Amazon. Still, they’re known for strong cranking power and long life, and the RedTop comes with a three-year full replacement warranty.
