Now from what I hear is that the red top Optimas are crap. The yellow top ones are the ones to get and will last. I know of this guy that had a red top one in his Mustang and it kept losing its charge so he swapped it out for a yellow top and hasnt had a problem since.
ill put a load tester and check the wiring also..thanx for info guys...

Heck i got a battery from Wally world and it was crap so i took it back and traded for another new and it does ok but i am going with an Interstate next thats what my dad has on his 98 Dodge he has 2 of them but his are good batterys never had trouble out of one and i have heard the batterys at K MART are pretty good but never tried one but there is bad ones in all of them but by far Interstate has to be the best in my book but then again the prices are a little salty also lol

Beginning of last season I bought one of those OPTIMA Red Top batt's. come to find out that it was only good for starting half of the time. Did a little research at their site recently because I was in need of a battery. Yes I bought another one (YELLOW TOP) seems to be fine SO FAR. Better be for $200.00plus
