I want to change the battery in my C5 sometime in the near future and was thinking of an Optima Yellow Top.
My C5 only gets used once every week or two (at the moment) and the voltage tends to drop to 11.3V or below if left for a week without drivinig it.
I do try to trickle charge the battery with my CTEK charger but as the car lives outside I cannot leave it hooked up all the time, so it gets charged when weather permits, usually every week if I can.
I was thinking that the Optima Yellow top might give me a bit more time before having to charge the battery, and may also take being drained a bit better than a conventional battery.
Does anyone have any experience of the Yellow Top fitted to a C5 - how did it perform?
Many thanks!
Philip.
