^^ yah, DieHard batteries are actually pretty good for the price (about half
of Optima) and last a good 3-4 yrs with no issues. unless you are brand
oriented or just love that red top, i don't see much benefit on a daily driven
car.

I put a Yellow Top in my wife's 2002 CR-V. It lasted a little over 24 mos. and went dead without warning. The Red Top has a much better warranty so the next one was a Red Top even though I had to use some creativity in mounting it. (Red Top was larger than the Yellow Top). One month later, we sold the 02 and bought an 07 CR-V. Talk about lousy timing
