LOL that intro! Great video as always Jason!

I absolutely love the Stingray! Hands down it’s one of the greatest corvettes out there

Didn't even know about this battery until this video, so just picked one up on the way home. Thanks for all the videos and info Jason.

I had two of the yellow tops in my plow truck with a three yard electric salt spreader 9 years ago just have to charge them for a day or two every winter and there good to go. So far it’s been almost 8 years

Nice review. Wasn’t able to wait for the square tops. Had to get the Odyssey PC1500T.

Great video Jason. I use the Optima Digital 1200 at work, and it's an absolute beast! We use two Optima red tops to start big generators, and the Digital 1200 keeps them topped up at all times.

I've been dealing with Optima batteries for years all car audio related, two red tops and two yellow tops great power even though people don't seem to like the here in Michigan, werierd to me but I love them

#Optima should be a sponsor in this channel.

That intro was hilarious, you had me believing you were getting little shocks. Lol, I'm dead! I watched it three times.

That original optima (even though it says Johson controls this was in the early years) was a real optima as in pure lead, optima (before the buyout) recipes and etc. Once Johnson controls took over everything changed and I can promise you that any new optima simply will not last as long. They are not the same batteries. I work in auto parts and I have personally seen 10+ year old optimas on several occasions but anything under 8 years old seems to be closer to 2-3ish years before they come back dead.

The start of this video is hilarious. I think the big gloves were a good idea. It was even funnier when I saw that the cables were still smoking. Lmao 😂

So always start with negative terminal and end with neg terminal .. got it !

Great stuff as always, Jason! I was watching this recently and thinking about upgrading from the factory battery in my 2016, especially as I start to add some things like auxiliary lighting. The universe agreed as my battery died today, just about to head out and pick one of these up!

Good on Optima for giving you this Battery at SEMA because I am buying one because of this Video! Thx great informative Video 👍👌🏁

Great video man, this is easily becoming one of my favorite youtube channels.

Jason....stop everything you are doing and do more with that vette!!! Gigantic jeep guy here....but that vette is stunning!

I found the beginning of this vid quite shocking.

Remember a few weeks ago, someone telling me to get a Northstar? A few days later, the kids tell me the 2016 Ford Fusion is flashing a message before starting, "CHANGE BATTERY SOON". Went to my local "Northstar" dealer in Culver City. It's raining. It's early morning, before the kids head off to college classes. Battery store tells me they don't have a Northstar that will fit. They have the exact H6 Optima that does fit. They test the battery and tell me it has 80% life left. Not wanting any Daddy come fix phone calls; especially in the rain, I say, give me the battery. They let me pull it into their garage. Not wanting to pay the $20 install fee, they let me do it myself. Took me less than 10 minutes. That H6 Battery weighs 54 pounds. Significantly heavier and bigger than what was put in by the factory. If I had to guess, the old one probably weighed 15 pounds. But yeah. I erased the message and it hasn't returned. Feels good knowing the kids won't be bugging me for a new battery, for a while.

Love those old 327 engines. I think PINTO, every time I get a notification for a new video.

Great video my friend I use Optima in all my vehicles since they become available, used it on my 2001 Silverado back in 2001 then my 2006 Tacoma now my 2009 JK but i noticed since they moved their production to Mexico the quality went South for a lock of words if you will... Great think Autozone has a 3 year free replacement because it was replaced twice because the whole top had bubbles like it wanted to explode. Keep up the great videos man i always learn from you.

I don't even own a jk, but I still like watching your videos.

The only thing keeping me from going to a yellow top in my JKU was the harness issue. Great info.

The intro was very funny! I love that style of humor!

That charger looks excellent perfect timing too since I am looking for a new charger.

😂😂 the jumpers were smoking if you look closely, at least your safe just 2 weeks ago at work i had a co worker cross the jumpers ( was not a good sight)

Awesome Jason ! I’m local , you should do a Jeep day with all your followers .

Great intro !!and thanks for showing that smart funny dog 🐕

The bit with pinto moving the camera was great.

Nothing beats free

Maybe an Optima battery that works? Doubt it made that mistake a couple times before...

Awesome video especially since I just got a black JKUR and we have a '65 Stingray solid window that my dad got in '68

Im not gonna name names but I watched this other video where this guy who looks a lot like you with an awesome dog convinced me to buy the "old faithful 6 pack" version......good thing I have four jeeps.

Could you do a shop tour video...it would be great to see how you have your different work areas and garages set up....nice back BTW!

It's about time Optima caught up with tech that at least a half dozen other AGM manufacturers like Northstar, XS, Full Throttle, Odyssey, Kinetik, Reikken etc have already been using for the past decade. Too late now, their stock dropped long time ago.

Love your videos! My 2014 JK’s battery is still going... though after watching this it may suffer a mysterious ailment...

We actually have a 65 Corvette 327 in one of our off road rigs but it was BUILT before we got the motor. Camelback heads (2.02) I believe 12.5:1 compression... sucker rips pulled a 69 c10 down the strip in 11s

You forgot to cover the Positive Terminal. Fire will burn both to the ground if the battery comes loose or you forget a tool and then go for a drive. I hate to be that guy, but there is a good reason the factory put one there and ALL racetrack safety inspections require it be covered.

He got paid for giving a great review

Thanks for the great video Jason. İ am definetly getting Digital 400 👍

I have used these for years, they are the best, most importantly they do not boil over. Here in Florida that is a big deal as the heat cooks em real bad, and causes damage to frame. Bad News. These are the best. Make sure to use the right charger do not use an old fashion charger, the new ones communicate with the AGM chip.

Wow I just saw you slam that heavy battery on the metalcloak fender , it’s strong as hell . I’m buying the battery and the metalcloak fenders 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great education video, like always great work and love watching all your videos. Keep it up cant wait for more.

Great video! Glad you didn’t jump yourself too bad with those cables, but that was funny. I noticed you didn’t follow your own advice when you hooked up the battery in the vette. You connected the negative first, then the positive. Definitely need some videos on that vette though!

6:26 Starting with the negative post is best but anyone can actually WELD a wrench to both of their top posts if they're not careful. 😲😧 Or worse, touch a metal brake/ABS line and actually burn a hole in it ...and potentially set the pressurized brake fluid on fire! 😱😩Using an insulated socket wrench is a GREAT idea. (or a wrench that is shorter than the distance between the posts 😉) Harbor Freight has a decent one btw. Helps to use some temporary zip ties to hold back stiff battery cables away from the battery drop-in-zone. Be careful with all metal hold-down hardware as well. Don't set anything on or near the battery posts that could roll or fall onto both of them. If you're wearing shorts and have some sweaty knees/legs resting on a chrome bumper you can get a nice "tingle" if you grab the positive side first. (and yeah, I've managed to do all of the above while doing electrical work on roughly 9 to 10,000 cars over the years. Oops🤭🙄)

I used to run optima in everything. they would last for years and years. Then, they moved their manufacturing a few years ago.. and now I haven'tfound one last more than 2-3 years. I've given up on optima, and no longer use them. I've moved to NorthStar, and highly recommend them. Hopefully they've addressed their manufacturing and quality issues in the meantime. Just in case, be prepared to replace that thing in 2-3 years.

According the the specs from Optima, the Digital 400/1200 chargers require the battery to be charged to have a minimum of 1.25v DC to work, and will not charge completely dead batteries as you claim.

Hello, After 4 years, Could you please update us now about the brand new yellow top you installed in your Jeep? is it still working without any issue?

Learned a lot. Helped me decide.

That’s a good point of reference. I know every vehicle and their accessories are unique, but it’s nice to have some real world examples of people who run a few things and how long they last without stranding you.

That bare, open positive terminal is a fire waiting to happen. And I cringe when you use that long, all metal wrench. I've watched guys (experienced "car guys") drop a wrench like that across open terminals, it is not pretty. That's why your positive terminal should always be covered.

Hi Jason. Love the channel, love the Jeep, and love the Vette. I need more Pinto though!

Did optima start making the battery like they used too before they were bought out by that Johnson company? That might justify the cost.

Perfect timing. I’m about to go buy a optima battery. OR!! You can send me the one you ain’t using! 😂

Pinto great camera work 👍 she makes the videos super. She needs a raise in pay extra treat a day lol

Great video! How about making a video of a walk around of your current Jeep set up with all your current mods? That would be awesome!

Since you got two batteries 👀 can we be expecting a dual battery installation

Great video! Youve got me looking at the batteries now! My question is: how often do you need to be connecting an AGM battery to one of those conditioners/charger devices? Does it matter if I drive the vehicle daily or not as well?

How come every websites are telling it is not compatible with the wrangler jk 2016?

autoedit went full electroboom... never go full electroboom...

Love the Vette!!!!!

Wow, my optima 6 pack lasted a bit over 2 yrs...lucky with Autozone they do a 3yr warranty and got a new one.

Is this H6 battery not available to purchase? Optima website is very confusing and says not available for purchase.

Are there not adapters on the new one. In your last video for the other optima you showed it up top.

luv the "its always sunny" style intro lol man o man, i cant wait to see that H6 on the market :O btw! hows your rear axle from the latest Trail to SEMA vid? that was pretty gnarly man lol

Love the videos!! I had an issue though, i go to the optima website, put in vehicle info, 2018 jeep wrangler JK and it wont let me buy a battery? Says none are found for my vehicle?

That’s your best car. I am kidding I love all your vehicles and Pinto too.

I always worry about doing that with jumper cables. :)

A battery that you had for 17 years (?) UNBELIEVABLE. I live in the hottest area in AZ. And everyone here says to change your battery every two years due to heat exceeding 120 degrees during the summer months. Since I had a new battery fail me a few years ago at a busy intersection on a two year old vehicle, I've been replacing my batteries on my five vehicles every two years. Any idea what the life expectancy would be on hot climets?

Does harbor freight sale these batteries?

Speaking of batteries. My 8 heavy duty batteries was ran wrong and my semi caught fire. Lol

I know you have the Jk and the Truck.... But I started watching you when you had the Wj.....So did You sell it to Friburger...Williams? Or did you not like It? I'm just a wj guy whos curious....

Ok so I'll look for the New style Optima.....it sounds like Quite an Upgrade.

Hey brother I’m not saying your lying, I was just amazed that a battery would last that long. I was asking if I can get similar results living in a hot climate.

Just put the Spiral Cell in mine... Ain’t Swap’N ! 😛 ...One thing /problem is, I can’t tighten down My Battery Clamps enough, and not have them Spin? I just ordered some Shims? Also Jason, dying to see the Video on how You fixed Your Rear Axle from it Spinning on Your Trip to SEMA. 🤷‍♂️

@autoedits is this battery still going strong from a few years ago from video?

Great video Jason. I just replaced the battery in my 14 JKRU with this newest Optima and I've gotta say, it's STRONG! Other than quick, powerful start-ups, it seems that I have a bit more ooomph in the skinny pedal. Not sure if that's true or not but I am loving this new battery~ It's definitely an investment but the 3 year warranty and the reputation of the Optima brand made much easier to pull the trigger.

I’m still running a red top optima from 12 years ago

Thank you very much just bought yellow top bigger one for 2018 honda pilot elite after 85000 miles do you think it will last forever on this vehicle? Thanks

1.21 Gigawatts? Were you simulating the lightning?

That kind of camera set up/app do you use to film your video? I love Pento and her adjustments lmao

Do you ever run a fridge or other loads while Jeep is not running just wondering how it responds to low amp draws over night for camping. Great videos thanks

CCA is measured at 0 deg F

Lovin your videos!

2nd time I've liked your video before the intro. LOL!! :)

Is this good for a mid-large sedan? It's time to replace the battery in my Fusion, and I'm wondering which of these two sizes is more appropriate.

would have liked to have seen them keep the side poles on the new battery

Did you say the vet has 500,000 miles on it?

How’s it goin! anyways I just got the same battery from four wheel parts got the Battery For my 2015 JKU,and I tested it soon as I got it in the vehicle with a voltmeter tested at 7.8 Volts Have not been able to get the battery to hold a charge so I’m on battery H6 number two on the way hopefully this one will work usually never had a problem with Optima. Anyways optima told me to charge it it’ll be just fine well it never worked at all drove it got at home dad in the morning and the alternator is charging hopefully number two shows up good I even bought a charger from Optima also to charge it charged it for an entire weekend and still wouldn’t hold a charge kind of weird how’s yours been working anyways?

where do you keep that vette?

Brother u need a tv show on Saturday or Sunday morning

those cables couldn't have touched any more lol

16 years of service!

How has your DH6 been holding up? Any issues with plates breaking? I've got a spiral cell yellow top in my CJ and XJ and been super happy. now my wife's JK needs one. The whole strength and longevity advantage of optomas is because of the spiral cells. Curious to see how it's done since you do some wheeling

Is the charger necessary for a daily driver or just if the battery sits unused for awhile?

I love your videos but wen you gone to do about the ram ?

2 Optima batteries for my 2012 Cummins. Do"able" or overkill?

Looks a lot like the Odyssey Extreme batteries.

Haha, Only thing that into needed was the pipe :P Didn't even know this battery was on the market. Just in time too, I've got another Bronco so its time to buy another battery.

Great video ! So how much does the new type of battery going to set one back?

👍🏻👍🏻 to the opening! 😂
