You always need to replace batteries in pairs and they need to be the same. I suspect that was your problem. |
I have had nothing but bad luck w/ my Red Tops in my toy car (Fiero GT w/ 3800 SC Series II Swap). After winter they were always COOKED. Yeah i probably should have taken them out BUT every other battery was fine doing that to. Starting and running or driving if there was no salt.

Thats not true. The Red Top is the correct starting battery - the yellowtop is a combo starting/deep cycle.
