I too have had issues with the optima red top not holding a charge, but it was easily replaced under warranty. The problem was discovered right away(next morning) so I was not left stranded high and dry. Have not had a problem with the battery since then. Although, My factory battery served just fine for my lights, stereo, DVD player, and winch. It never let me down, until it went completely dead 2.5 years later. It actually has more cold cranking amps than the red top, and IMO is a good all around battery! So unless you are just having battery problems, just run to fail, and carry a portable battery jumper when you go out into the booneys(or atleast a good set of jumper cables).
