Battery

[nfpgasmask]

I put in a Red Top Optima after advice on the board. The battery didn't even last the warrenty. I think it lasted only 35 months. I got it at Sears and the guy told me they started having a lot of complaints with Optima. He said the quality controll wasn't the same as it has been a few years ago. I don't think they even sell it anymore. Anyway, Sears honored the warrenty, and I put in a Diehard Platinum in it's place. That was over two years ago and haven't had any problems yet.
Peace.

Tom, I hope that your experience was with an isolated batch of bad batteries. The RedTop in my VX came out of my Xterra so that battery is going on 5 years for me. I just put a new Optima in my Trooper. I hope it doesn't crap out.
