[Shotimes] Optima Batteries

[Robert Bruce]

I visited my local Interstate Battery Distributor today.  We had a nice
discussion and he revealed some info that you may find interesting.  He
noted:

a) All Interstate Batteries are made by Johnson Controls.

b) Optima Batteries is owned by Johnson Controls.

c) Optima makes a lot more sizes than their web site indicates.  He showed
me his list and there is at least ten or so sizes available.

d) This distributor also sells Optimas and is getting a lot of returns of
the Red Top models.  He recommends buying the Yellow Top, deep cycle model
as very few of them have problems.
