My Red Top's DEAD

[VehiGAZ]

Any suggestions on battery replacement. My Optima Red Top died after not that many years, about 4-5 years. I'm questioning whether or not i should get a RedTop again. What do ya think?

4-5 years is about how long ANY battery is going to last.

My recommendation is to buy a battery with the longest warranty you can find.

I use Costco's Kirkland batteries - 100% warranty for the first 3 years, then prorated for the next 2 years after that. I just replaced my 2-year old battery 2 weeks ago - jumped the VX, drove it to Costco, pulled it out, walked in to get a new one, then popped it in right in the parking lot - free (although the customer service chick wanted to refund my original purchase price, which was no good for me since the prices went up).

At the risk of jinxing myself, I have had the same yellow top in the VX since 2003 and a red top in my wife's Safari van since 2003.
