I prefer Optima red tops. In my sports car, the difference is night and day. To each is own, but thats about the only thing I can name that I'd spend 200% the normal cost of a regular part for! 8)

what difference? it's a battery; the car either starts or it doesn't =)

i can buy 3 or 4 conventional, flooded, wet cell batteries to 1 gel cell. AND, i have never replaced more than 1 battery in any 1 vehicle that i have ever owned (knock on wood), and most of the ones i have replaced was due to an alternator overcharging or excessive starter current draw...

i am unable to justify the premium price of new-age batteries
