OPTIMA BlueTop Battery

Our Promise

Ultimate Power, for the ultimate professionals, for the ultimate enthusiasts. And for the ultimate experience. That's our goal each and every day. No matter how extreme the conditions, OPTIMA delivers Ultimate Power. We look for every technological advantage to push the limits of what's possible and leave pretenders in our dust.

We manufacture our own batteries in our own facilities to our demanding standards. To ensure quality and consistency in our batteries, no matter where they are being sold - our batteries are never re-labled or re-spec'd.

Going Farther for Longer

Installing an OPTIMA BlueTop high-performance AGM battery in your boat or RV means exceptional running time and more recharges than you’d get out of a traditional battery. It’s the perfect marine battery for boats with trolling motors, extensive electronic systems, and works well as an RV battery for RVs with creature comforts that tend to drain batteries quickly. On top of providing outstanding vibration resistance, the BlueTop efficient power delivery and faster recharge time mean you’ll spend less time worrying about your battery. This means more time for fun. Again and again. This flexible boat battery and RV battery is ideal for those who need a sure-starting, strong-cranking, maintenance-free power source.

  • Up to three times more recharges than other marine batteries
  • More than 15 times the vibration resistance
  • Spillproof, mountable in virtually any position
  • Maintenance-free
  • Works well as a boat battery or RV battery

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. No one knows how to build the highest quality and best performing spiral-wound batteries better than OPTIMA.

What's the difference between OPTIMA RedTop, YellowTop, and BlueTop Batteries?

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 D31M BlueTop is designed as a dual purpose battery, both starting and deep cycle for people who need a sure-starting, strong cranking, and maintenance free power source for their boat or RV, even in harsh conditions. The unique SpiralCell design provides a strong and clean power source, ensuring the safety of you, your family and the environment. The higher reserve capacity gives you a longer shelf-life to give you the power when you need it, where you need it. This battery is designed to be used with recreational vehicles or boats with large accessory loads.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the heat resistance of the auto battery. Some mention it's very heat resistant while providing a reliable energy, while others say it hazard multiple times due to extreme overheating while charging.

It not only heats up being charged, but after about the 30% draw down, the terminals heat, and start melting the cheap soft plastic top.

    Walmart battery out lasted it
    1 Star
    Walmart battery out lasted it
    Bought this on 3-09 realized it was bad when I summarized my boat 4-11, one month after the Warranty was out, started to notice it was going out last summer but thought it was sulfated and bought a ctek charger to take care of it in the winter. I had bought a walmart battery at the same time with a perco switch just in case and the walmart is still able to start my boat but the optima will not even crank the motor over! Called to optima and they were thrilled that the battery was just out of warranty and did not even want to help!! I got about 7 months out of this battery. I would have considered even giving them a chance if they would have at least prorated a new one since the battery has not been in use since October of last year, im 31 and have a lot of battery's to buy in my lifetime but it will not be an optima!!
