Optima 34/78 RedTop vs ACDelco 94RAGM

May 04, 2020 Car Battery Tips & Tricks PitStopArabia

In this blog, we will be talking about and comparing two popular car battery brands – Optima and ACDelco. Instead of making a comparison based on brand reputation, or the company’s revenue, we decided to compare their most popular battery. Therefore, in this article, we will be comparing Optima 34/78 RedTop and ACDelco 94RAGM.

Optima 34/78 RedTop

If you have been a car owner for a long part of your life, then you know this brand quite well. It has a good reputation when it comes to manufacturing quality car batteries. The Optima 34/78 RedTop is highly regarded deep cycle battery. It lasts twice as long than a standard lead-acid battery. It gives a highly impressive 5-second starting burst.

In short, your car will roar up right when you turn the car key. Most conventional batteries come loaded with impure lead flat sheet. On the other hand, the 34/78 RedTop comes with pure lead. This enables it to provide maximum resistance to vibrations and remarkably low ohms. Also, the output is unmatched when compared with traditional lead-acid batteries.

Another feature that we love is that there is no leakage or dripping even when the battery is fully turned over. The reason? It is quite simple and straightforward. The Optima is completely sealed. Therefore, you also do not have to worry about its maintenance. In conclusion, this is what we:

Liked About Optima 34/78 Red Top

  • 5-second starting burst
  • Completely Sealed
  • Maintenance Free
  • Lasts twice as long

Did Not Like

  • Slow Drain is Just Awful

The battery drains out a lot quicker if its left plugged in but not being used. Therefore, if you do not plan on using the car for a long period of time, make sure to unplug the battery. Otherwise, you will have a hard time starting the vehicle when you actually do need to use it. This is the only fault we could find in the Optima 34/78 RedTop.

ACDelco 64RAGM

Along with Optima, ACDelco is another common name among vehicle owners when it comes to batteries. This company manufactures batteries for nearly every type of vehicle. In short, it has a wide variety of batteries to meet peoples’ needs. The ACDelco 94RAGM is designed with enhanced life alloys and silver calcium. The reason?

These two materials improve the battery’s performance and durability. To protect against vibrations or leakage, the battery is completely tested. It is also pressure tested for added safety. When it comes to energy, it can provide nearly 80 AMP hours! This is surely one of its most remarkable features. It also provides 800 cold cranking amps making it suitable for use in harsh temperatures.

Here is what we:

  • Durable, i.e. a long lifespan
