Get a Oddessy PC 1200......
I just pulled one out of my dragster thats been setting for 3 years and it still has 12 volts in it lol.
Its probably 10 years old and the only battery I have had in the last 3 race cars.....

Well I don't know about ultimate, but the red top Optimum is for cars with alternators and the yellow top is for cars without. Both seem to be pretty tough batteries.

I have had some trouble with red top optimas. I have an Oddessey in the race car and it works great.

They did seem to take a dive but are on the rebound. We are returning way way less for warranty then we used to. Sales are way up as well so seeing a decline in returns means alot. Since last thursday we have sold 44 red tops .

I don't know aout them being garbage,just my experience. All of these racers can't be wrong, though. Just an observation. It's supposedly one of the most used batteries in racing. Thats why I have one. We'll see if its still good after the winter.lol
