Running a pair of NAPA Orbitals. Been pretty good to me so far. Even in -20, they still performed.

i have a blue top in my boat thats been cranking a 350 small block its been good for 6 years but the optimas in diesels suck. i had a red top in my bobcat for almost a year and it didnt hold up worth the beans had to replace it with a green top interstate. put the yellum tops in my dodge about last winter and only god about 4-5 months out of them before they wouldnt crank anymore. when i bought the truck last winter it had green top interstate with the date punched out for may of 96, so there good batterys
