Starting reliability in demanding applications depends on a battery capable of delivering sustained high current without voltage drop or premature failure. The Optima Red Top 8001-287 is a 12V 50Ah AGM starter battery engineered specifically for vehicles where conventional flooded batteries are inadequate, including tuned and modified street cars, high-performance road vehicles, and generator applications where compact footprint matters.
Optima's Spiral cell AGM technology constructs each cell from two pure lead plates wound into a tight cylindrical spiral, separated by an absorbed glass mat. This configuration eliminates free electrolyte, increases plate surface area, and produces an exceptionally rigid internal structure resistant to vibration damage. The result is a cold cranking output of 815A (EN), consistent starting performance across a wide temperature range, and a battery that accepts charge more efficiently than conventional designs.
The 8001-287 measures 254mm × 175mm – 200mm (L × W × H) and weighs 18.5kg. It is fitted with SAE Post terminals, referenced as terminal type 1, with standard positive polarity (type 2). The hold-down configuration is B00. This product group is classified as 3100 within the Optima range. Note that whilst the AGM technology supports start-stop system architectures, compatibility with a specific vehicle's start-stop function should be confirmed against the product label prior to fitment. No direct cross-references are listed; verify fitment against vehicle manufacturer specifications." This product is currently offered as a single variant with no alternative configurations available. The Optima Red Top 8001-287 is supplied with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. "Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
The OPTIMA REDTOP high-performance AGM Battery is designed for starter applications. Its ideal for tuned and street cars, and other high-performance applications. Its even powerful enough to start generators while having small space requirements.
Key Feature:Engineered for modern passenger vehicles, providing reliable starting power, voltage stability, and long-term durability to support daily commuting and standard automotive electrical demands.
