Red Top, 4 years so far. Survived 3 Portland Oregon winters, a few complete drains, and sites for a week + at a time without use. Way to heavy though.
Owner reviews for battery
I ran red top for a little more than five years before it ran out of juice, so I bought another a couple years ago
I bought a optima in 2001 and ran it for 6 years no problems, even though i drained it multiple times. I bought a replacement in 2005, exchanged on warrenty in '06, and i'mlooking for a replacement currently. i know optima was bought out a few years ago i wonder if quality has gone down since then.
Unfortunately, I only ran that battery for 10 months.....car was stolen, so I can't say it was great for many years, but in 10 months time, not one hick-up......even when my Autolamps Online HID kit went haywire and turned itself on and stayed on ALL NIGHT.
Prep the car... Prep the space... The new beatzzz Deka Batteries... Clean as can be! Hot damn clean wiring!
I just replaced the red top Optima in my Cherokee after 8 years. Put in a yellow top Optima.
forget optima. Go with a Deka.
have an optima red top it starts the car at -40 weather no problem, only catch is if you kill it the batt will never be the same iv gone through 2 so far in the last 2 years but with 10 year or more warranty who cares.
For the price you pay if you aren't using the car daily, it is a waste of money. I've been through 3 of them now, 2 of which I replaced within there crappy 1 year replacement period.
I've had to return 3 Red Top's prior to their 1 year warranty for replacements. Only 1 of the 3 replacements is still installed, the other 2 have gone bad and have been replaced with generic O'Reilly's batteries, which i've had much better luck with.
