    Years ago, I needed a new battery and the overwhelming consensus of this forum was to get the Optima Yellow Top.

    When Mendel Leisk said that's what he had, it became a no brainer so that's what I got.

    Looks like I might be in the market again -- is the Optima Yellow Top still the preferred choice?

    I just bought my first battery and decided Toyota OEM was the best. It's made for the Prius and no other manufacturer will give you 7 year warranty on the battery. Granted it's full replacement for 24 months and then prorated towards the replacement cost.
