I’ve used them on my Jeep Liberty without any issues. I always purchase them directly through Optima not Amazon or some other third party. That way you know your getting a fresh battery and not one that’s been sitting on a shelf forever.
replaced the OEM battery in my 2010 Raptor last fall, one guess what I replaced it with.
the OEM never did fail but I could tell it was getting weak and winter was around the corner. come to think about it but my E450 motor home battery lasted that long also.
back with conventional batteries on all my on and off road wheeled toys, 2 and 4 wheeled.

Vehicle started going into deep sleep mode again, even with the new battery. Only thing I can think of now is to remove my vehicle from Ford Pass and see if that’s what is draining the battery. Very frustrating!
Having had the same issue (and self-diagnosing), it appears in my case that it is simply a battery recovery issue. Where I live there is no reason to drive far (I have under 4K miles after a year) but starting a recent part time job as a ranger on the beach in a refuge has forced me into a 6 mile commute each way o_O three days a week. The extra 12 miles seems to be enough to charge up my battery as the issue has gone away. Fingers crossed.
