I've seen too many product reports with wrong and/or biased information, to base my decisions on them. There was recently a thread about such a report, which bashed the Jeep Wrangler in a very biased way.
My son has dual Optima Yellow Tops, and so do I. That's 4 of 'em, to which I can add at least 5 more, of people I know. None of these Yellow Tops had any problem.
Quite a few, on this forum, report the same - it's a trouble-free long life battery.

The context was that there's no 100% lack of failure in products.
The Genesis Offroad dual battery tray is the best I've seen. It's actually a kit that includes a neatly installed solenoid and wiring.
It goes especially well with the Yellow tops because they are relatively small.
Recently, my Jeep was parked for 3 weeks, while I've been somewhere else. Most batteries I had before would have needed jump-starting, the Yellow top just started it normally.
The Yellow Top suits the 3.6L better than the other colors.
When I got Pro Comp 7105 Xtreme rims, one was twisted a bit, couldn't be balanced, and was replaced. I never mentioned other rims I've had, which didn't have any problem, just this one rare case of a faulty one.
No battery production batch is 100% fail-proof. Typically, we hear about the very small percentage of failures much more than we hear from many more people who had no problems.
