[Shotimes] Oh no ! now they both do it!!

There seems to be a trend with sealed deep cycles
lasting longer than traditional sealed batteries. My
Yellow top Optima lasted 5 years IIRC. I replaced it
with traditional parts store junk with mixed results.

The Odysseys also deep cycle. It's not a valid
comparison but I'd pick a deep cycle (yellow top)
optima or an Odyssey (they all deep cycle IIRC) over a
red top starter Optima. I've heard of issues with the
red tops but never the yellows. (then again, perhaps
not as many people are buying the yellows and
therefore there are less problems reported?)

How's that for a run-on rambling post?
