I had a Sears Marine battery that last 7 years in the race-car. But if you want the most Powerful battery you can get its the 16 volt Rock battery. I have not had it a year yet but its night and day better than my 16 volt Turbo Start battery.

If your red top is only 2.5 years old its still under free replacement warranty.

I don't like optima's either. I run 2 interstate lead/acid batteries and have had good luck with them.

The two Optima yellow tops I bought 6 years ago are still doing the job. The Red top I bought 2 years ago is junk. I had it replaced 1 month after I bought it and not this one is garbage. I think I`ll try a Deka intimidator next.

bonefish, That is what I am using the AGM Turbo Start charger. I called Rock batteries and they said it would work just fine and it does. If I can ever get the spare money I will get a Rock charger because it is much better. I don't sell any batteries just trying to help my fellow racers on here who have HELPED me many times.
With the 16 volt Tubro Start I could not tell any difference than with the 12 volt Sears Marine battery. With the Rock battery it turns the engine about 2 times as fast as the other two.

i ran 2 turbo starts for 3 years and now have 2 big marine 12vlt and i hate it ,once you get used to the 16vlt system going back to the 12vlt is like going from a big block to a small block(oop, i shouldnt have said that).but right now i just didnt want to spend 500.00 bucks on batts.mabey ill try just one 16vlt.
