Re: Which Battery..

I realize they are not quite what they used to be yet I purchased an Optima Red Top over 1.5 years ago.

Still running strong, stock charging system. Next up was a Deka but I could not make it fit into my custom battery box.

If your charging system throws too many volts at a battery too fast it will certainly give the battery a short life. Trickle chargers do a 2 amp charge for that exact reason.
