    I haven't ever had a problem with one and I had two in the old truck and one was transferred from the Jeep. I wouldn't mind getting one of the red tops from you once I recover from Christmas spending...

    I actually just bought a new red top for the jeep tonight. I never had any issues with my old one, only reason I bought a new one is because Rodney and I swapped batterys in Clayton for my extraction.

    so, regardless of how good or bad the batteries are, how does one come across 12 of them? and how much money is being made on each one?!
