I'm from Ontario Canada as well and my OEM battery is about to go out. The only battery that Canadian Tire offers aside from their own generic batteries is Optima. Just wanted to ask if you Evo X came with a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer from the factory. I'm guessing that could be draining the battery as well? Also what is the model number of your Optima Yellow Top battery? The Optima website doesn't show an available battery for the Evo X
Optima Yellow Top Group Size 35 is the part. I don't want to put garbage like the Optima in my car again.
Walmart Canada has EverStart AGM MAXX (680 CCA). Across the pond in Autozone they have Duralast Platinum AGM (680 CCA), and in Batteries+Bulbs they have X2Power Premium AGM (740 CCA). These will be my preferred replacement choices.

I was looking at Optima batteries at a nationwide chain of automotive stores. Two sales guys chimed in and told me that Optima batteries has changed their manufacturer, and are no longer mfg in the USA. They pointed at the rows and rows of defective red, and yellow top Optima batteries. The guy said they are constantly busy with warranty Optima batteries that go bad, since the mfg change. FTW just stating my experience, needless to say, did not buy Optima.
