You have a point there. My original battery was an Interstate. Lasted a long time, like 7 years (that's like 10 years outside of AZ.) Replaced it with an Optima Red Top about 4 years ago from Pep Boys. At 23 months it died and was replace no charge. Current Red Top is now 2 years old and I am watching.........
