Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - Interview Summary – Optima Batteries with Daryl Brockman

Ron talks with Daryl Brockman from Optima Batteries about how today’s vehicles demand more from their batteries. With start/stop systems and heavy electronics, AGM batteries are the go-to for reliability and long life. Optima offers RedTop for standard loads, YellowTop for high-demand systems, and new lithium options for cars, trucks, powersports, RVs, and marine use.

Highlights include Optima’s CPR built-in jumpstart reserve, the PowerLink dongle for easy monitoring and charging, and a Bluetooth app that can wake a battery without popping the hood. Backed by Clarios, the world’s largest battery maker, Optima’s products carry top safety certifications and advanced lithium iron phosphate chemistry for cold-weather performance and long cycle life.
