I like Optima but i'm a little partial since the company I work for owns them. I can purchase a couple a year at a reduced rate if you're interested. I put a yellow top on my jeep last year and it works great. I'm pretty sure I could get you one for a price you couldn't find anywhere.

It is. Awesome battery. I've had red tops before and they blow. I've had better luck with Interstates and that's no joke.

However, for you guys that might have a dead battery that you think is done, before you spend money on another, check these out. I have one and love it. It constantly pulses the lead plates, and I have brought 5 batteries I thought were completely dead back to life.

Looks like their product page is down, but this is what I have. And it kicks ***.

Always had problems with yellow and red tops, once you loose a charge they suck. Stick with oem
