optima red/yellow top are good batteries but pretty damn heavy and since their solid state if you leave your lights on or something overnight and you drain your battery, tough luck you need another one.

Not solid state, Absorbed Glass Mat.

And yes, once they are toast, they don't come back. I recently had my Red Top go down, form lack of driving. It charged back up, but only lasted another 2 months before it died all together. Now I have the 1000 CCA Red Top in it.

Alright, the battery I had turned out to be toast, so I picked up a DieHard from Sears. I don't want to drop $150 for an Optima on a car that I probably won't keep for much longer. I haven't hooked it up yet (need to put my trailing coil back on) But I'm pretty confident that the battery will fix the problem.
