Re: [T3] Duralast batteries anyone?

<x-flowed>FYI........

Johnson Controls owns Optima as well, and I have heard nothing but 
excellent things about the Optimas.  Granted they are more pricey, but 
supposedly do not leak and keep a charge for a long time.  Excellent 
qualities for older cars like ours.  And they are made right here in 
Denver, CO  :)

I am putting a 6 volt version Optima in my Notch next week.  :)
