Our table does not list a battery for these Optima model years: 2021 or newer, and anything before 2016. Rather than guess, the technician confirms the exact battery from your VIN and sends the full price before dispatch.

AGM and start-stop
2016–2020 Optimas need an AGM battery. H7 or H6 depending on the engine and year, so the technician confirms it from the VIN. Hybrid models have a separate 12-volt battery. A standard flooded battery is not a substitute.
Whatever the table says, we replace AGM with AGM: if the battery in your car is labeled AGM, a flooded battery is not a substitute. Read AGM vs standard batteries.
Hybrid models
Hybrid versions of the Optima are matched separately from the VIN, since their 12-volt battery can be a different size and sit in a different place. See hybrid and EV 12-volt batteries.
