David, I tried 3 red tops on the race car within a year, (sometimes it sits for up to 2 months without use.) Even with the charger going on them, I couldn't keep them alive. After the 3rd attempt, I changed to a 16 volt system and have had that battery for 3 years now--it's a pretty common thing to hear this from the guys at the track (drag), especially about the red tops, from my experience. Funny, when I think of performance batteries, I still think Optima, however I won't put one in my PT car now since it was a real issue for me and others within my circle of racing. Would be glad to go back to using their product since they are so supportive of this hobby/sport, however this paticular product needs to meet the expectations.

They can pick talent though, given your position--LOL. Shameless plug for a ride at the shootout a week from this Sat---.

Doug
