Good to hear it's working for you. I've had decent results with Everlast (Walmart) and Duralast (Autozone) batteries. My first choice is Optima though, since I've had a RedTop for a little over four years, and despite the fact that it's been through all sorts of charging system malfunctions, it's still held up and it still works like new to this day. Even sat a month, still hooked up and untouched, while I fixed the power steering on my truck. When I did start it after all that, it turned the starter like I had just parked the truck the day before.

And I actually got it pretty cheap too. I traded in a slightly used Duralast from an '85 Cadillac we used to have that we got rid of (it was unreliable) and after all was said and done, I only paid $70 for the Optima.
