About Optima batteries

Optima is best known for its colour-coded ranges. RedTop is for starting the engine. YellowTop is for cars that also run a lot of electrical equipment, such as winches, fridges or big audio systems.

Optima batteries come mostly in American (BCI) sizes, with some DIN sizes. We check that the Optima fits your battery tray and terminals, then fit it at your car.

Optima batteries in UAE heat

Optima batteries are sealed AGM, so they do not lose water the way flooded batteries do, and the spiral design resists vibration. Heat still shortens their life, and they cost much more than standard batteries.

FAQ

Optima batteries: common questions

What is the price of an Optima battery in Dubai?

It depends on the size and type your car needs. Send your make, model and year and we give you the fitted price for the right Optima battery before we come. The price includes fitting, a battery and charging test and taking the old battery away.

RedTop or YellowTop: which do I need?

RedTop if you only need to start the engine. YellowTop if the car also runs accessories with the engine off, such as a fridge, winch or audio system.

Will an Optima fit my Land Cruiser or Patrol?

Often yes, but the shape and terminals differ from the original battery. We check the tray and hold-down before we fit it.

What warranty does an Optima battery have?

Warranty depends on the exact Optima battery and is set by the UAE distributor. We confirm it with your quote and write it on your invoice. It covers manufacturing faults, not a battery drained by lights left on or a charging fault.
