I have had some red tops in some of my cars 6-7 years old and still going strong. Even after sometimes them sitting 6 months before starting. I got 2 electric gates that I put red tops on about 2 years ago, have had them replaced twice now and those are charged with an electic charger everyday. Did some research awhile back and seen where optima was bought by another company like 3 years ago and their quality has suffered severely. Do a google search and you will see plenty of failures in the last three years and some talk of the buyout being bad for company reputation. Optima started out as a Swedish company, then bought by a Mexican company I believe, quality no more.
