My boat received a yellow-top this summer and it discharged like heck by fall (and I have a battery disconnect on the boat).
Overall, not impressed. I hear good things about Orbitals though. One of the wheelin' boards I go on had a thread a while back about how the quality of Optimas have slipped over the last few years. Apparently they made a good name for themselves then something changed and now they are mostly junk. I'll see if I can find a link.

After 4 junk red tops, I will NEVER own another optima battery again either.
