I've used a Red Top since 1994 in my SVX. Before that it was in my AUDI, before that it was in my Buick, before that, it was in my Charger.

I bought it in 1989 and replaced it finally last year. I still have the original, it wasn't dead, I just didn't want to put it through another winter in case it decided to die.

I can't believe that Earl has had such problems. He must be buying them off the back of a truck (J/K)

I love the absorbed electrolyte design. I can go outside when everyone else's battery is gelled up in the Wisconsin winter, My car turns right over.
