I have a 12 V Optima in my BN7 which came with the car three years ago and I
think it was several years old at that time. It is still going strong even
though it was out of the car for almost 18 months or more while I was
finishing the restoration. I think it's a great battery. I have seen Exide
"Orbital" batteries for sale and I am wondering if they just have these made
by the same company that makes the Red Top. Any idea?
