[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 2122396, member: 541383"] agreed also if you have a system with a redtop and the place where you purchased your battery knows it too they probably wont warranty it. optima doesnt warranty red tops if you have a system even says so on their web site. wasnt "just for the system" and in my case my old "100 watt car" i was fine with everything until it came to replacing the batteries when they went bad. between 95 to 98 i went through 2 red tops and a yellow ended up at the time just running a big arsed exide that lasted awhile (2 years before they went mega sized on the stereo) also i might add reserve capacity of a battery is not a bad thing to have. sure you might have a big alt but most of the times when people are showing them off more times than not their alts arent spinning at the rate they do their most power....and also the drain on the alt due to the battery is dependant on the resistance of the battery so if its low resistance its probably still easier to charge up for your alt than some old wet cell.
