Optima Red Top
I just picked up a Optima Red Top from my buddy Ory (RangerMuse). I got it for $35. It was about a month old. He works at Autozone and has batteries returned all the time. He tested the battery and let it sit for a few days and then tested it again. It was perfect so he snagged it for me.
Anyone else have a Optima? If so, how do you like it?

I have red tops in both my rangers.
Last winter my '96 sat for about a month in sub 0 temps. The red top in it went dead. I took the other red top out of my '03 and turned up side down, set it on top of the dead battery with the terminals touching, turned the '96 over and it started right up.

yeah i had a red top, i know i needed a battery soon the red top i cant remember when i bought it but the manufacture date was 11-5 and totally dead, thought it was becuase it sat a while, drove it for 20 miles on the highway, shut the truck off, and was dead again, Yeah it was a nice battery, but not worth the cost to me.

NICE SCORE!!!
I've had a red top in my 94 V8 Ranger since I built it 4yrs ago, has gone dead from sittin for months, but charges right up & no problems.
I bought one for my tow rig last summer, IMO worth the $150, as Ford sells Motorcraft batteries for $110 exchange.......batteries have gone up just like everythin else...
