OPTIMA Batteries offers a wide range of batteries for most classic cars still on the road today, including the 1964 Buick Riviera. Like many GM cars from that era, Riviera owners have several battery sizes to choose from, so which is the best or right choice? It depends on the car and how it is used.
OPTIMA REDTOP AGM batteries are great for vehicles that are stock from an electrical standpoint and any of the REDTOP options will do just fine. However, if your Riviera has been modified from an electrical standpoint, maybe with an aftermarket stereo system or car alarm, then an OPTIMA YELLOWTOP that is designed for both starting and deep-cycle use is a better option.
One of the most beneficial features of running an OPTIMA battery in your Buick is the sealed AGM design. That minimizes the chance of battery acid damaging the paint on your classic ride! It also means you don't have to add distilled water to your battery, but in spite of what people say about AGM batteries being "maintenance-free," that isn't exactly true. While it is true from the standpoint of not needing to add water, you should keep your battery voltage properly maintained whenever possible.
The key to maximizing car battery performance and lifespan is proper voltage maintenance. Fully charged, OPTIMA REDTOP batteries will measure about 12.6-12.8 volts and YELLOWTOP batteries will measure about 13.0-13.2 volts. We're so confident proper voltage maintenance will extend the performance and lifespan of your battery, we'll add an additional year of free replacement warranty coverage to your OPTIMA battery, if you buy an OPTIMA D1200+ battery charger from us, when you purchase your OPTIMA battery!
