Depends on a few things:
How often you start the car What kind of accessories you run in your car If you run accessories with the engine turned off for long periods How old the battery actually is Generally speaking battery should last least couple of years. Mine have last at least 3 years in some of my cars. Unfortunately I don't know about yellow optima battery. I use Repco batteries which are rebranded Century batteries. They come with a 3 year warranty. |

During the recent 20,000 mile service on my 2012 Yaris L, the dealership noticed my battery had a bad cell in it. The battery was replaced free under warranty.
