SpiralCell Technology

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?

retop

yellowtop

bluetop

RedTop

For 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.

YellowTop

Use 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.

BlueTop

The 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 D51 YellowTop battery provides the extra performance and deep-cycling capability that your vehicle demands if it has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics. The unique SpiralCell design provides a strong and clean power source, ensuring the safety of you, your family and the environment. The Optima battery is ideal for seasonal use because of its very low self-discharge rate. That means you can store your seasonal vehicles all winter without regular charging and still spring out of the starting block when winter is over.

5.0 out of 5 stars optima yellow top battery for Miata NB
Reviewed in the United States on 11 February 2024

This battery is a great battery. A little bit taller, but it fits inside of Miata trunk fine. My previous yellow top battery lasted for 13 yrs and 4 mos. and that's why I purchased this battery again. Both OPT8071-167 D51 or OPT8071-167 D51R will fit, but OPT8071-167 D51R would be easier to install. I would recommend this battery for all NB Miata owners.

Bought this as an auxilliary to run my coffee maker/small oven/aux heater for which I had always used standard batteries without issues. A standard battery usually lasted well into a year and a half. This VERY EXPENSIVE battery started to fail within a year. Doesn't holed much of a charge -too long to fully charge. Woefully inadequate. Bought a standard battery for 1/2 the price to do double the job.

The Optima D51 is a GREAT Battery! The last one I had lasted seven years. In this case; I was disappointed! The Battery arrived two weeks after I ordered it. This was courtesy of Amazon "free shipping??" Although in "new" condition, the battery was 100% dead when it arrived. This indicates it was on a shelf, warehoused for at least seven years and never rotated as any item with a shelf life should be. I charged the battery three times and it was 100% unservicable. Reported this to Amazon and they offered to ship a replacement that would take another week or so to reach me. With the possibility of getting yet another expired battery, I requested a refund.This was my 1st bad experience through Amazon. Lesson learned, don't order anything from Amazon that has a shelf life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Battery lasts FOREVER

I bought a used Prius with which had this battery in it. It was 4 years old at the time. But in this battery the
plates are wound in a circle which results in FAR more surface area of positive and negative plates inside the battery resulting in a FAR longer usable life. I'm on my 6th year according to the battery date and it tests perfect in both voltage and load testing with less than 10% loss in load testing after 6 years of use. THAT"S AMAZING compared to other lead acid plate batteries.
