After my last Redtop stopped taking a charge out on the road, I went with a Deka AGM. Made by East Penn. Autozone had it, group 34 size, ~$200.

The kid at Autozone tried selling me that one but when I asked about the difference and it's charging needs, he got lost w/no answers. What's funnier is when I said I needed a battery for a 72 big block dart w/12.1 compression.........he had to go get help....... Fixed now after an 11:00 pm thrash and back to testing carbs. Thankxxx again guys and this is a TINY screw up compared to some others..........

My last Optima experience was not a good one. It got weak in about 8 months, called tech tech and they told me to do a "10A rapid charge", I followed their instructions verbatim which resulted in a split case, then they told me I was on my own. Got pissed and threw a cheapo walmart battery in my satellite and never had a problem after that. I had great luck with Optima up to that point, but that whole situation killed Optima for me. I'm sure there are better AGM options out there.
