I had my delco replacement for just over 2 years before it started having problems. It was puking battery acid from out of the side post. I'll never buy another one of those again.

I saw a few come out when I was at Wal-Mart. My buddies came out on his '97 GTP.

 

The post stripped out on my dads '02 Envoy and when I was messing with that the terminal also came out on that one.

i love Optimas. the RedTop i have in my prix was in my old Jeep before i sold it. its seen abuse, and still going strong.

 

BluTop - marine and RV

YellowTop - extreme racing or extreme audiophiles

RedTop - step up from OEM, good for people like me with 1-2 amps. YellowTops little brother.

whats the difference between yellow top and red top?

 

I think the yellow top is a deep cycle Marine/RV battery.

red top is a starting battery

yellow is deep cycle

blue is marine

well, generally, people at AZ are worthless (i guess in most parts houses, too, lol). the 2nd worst employee we had at advance is now a manager at vatozone :mrgreen:

 

im not a messican, so wouldnt know, thats just what i heard.

Yeah...one of my friends got hired at an Autozone and she really doesn't know anything about cars. It's sad because it's an auto parts store.

Ive worked for both AutoZone and Advance, I can say most don't know anything... Me on the other hand... I do. Not only do I have a ASE Certification that says so, but I have experience and knowledge to back it up... At any parts store, especially the more 'retail' ones such as AZ, Advance, O'Reily's it's gonna be hit and miss with the employees knowing anything useful.

 

I quit AZ 2 months ago because nobody i worked with knew anything and they didn't give a shit about anything else... I got sick and tired of being the 'go-to' guy.
