Anyone have experience with gel filled truck batteries? I had two Champion gel filled batteries in my Chevy HD diesel PU that failed. They were 39 months old and I bought them at Sam"s Club just before they quit handling that brand. They were fully charged, checked out at 12.6 volts each, etc. But the engine was cranking slow. Both batteries failed the load test. I replaced them with Optima Red Tops. Now the truck spins great. What do you think the outlook will be on the Optima"s? Oh, and one other thing--Sam"s took the old ones back and gave me credit of $165 since only 39 of the 108 month warranty was used. So I am happy about that, but am I going to be doing the same thing in 3 more years?
