Just checked my red top, the sticker has an Aurora Co address on it. I have not had problems and its 3 years old I'm assuming this one was made in the u.s.a.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here either, but this is just obvious. Keep any battery charged up and it should start EVERY TIME! How long can it sit in the car before it won't start?

Thanks for an honest answer. I appreciate it. Not that Batteries are by any means the most expensive part of a build, but it all adds up. I've got time before we need one, maybe they will get straightened around.

Maybe Dave will have some info from SEMA.
