I bought 2 red tops 2 years ago, one in my crawler, one in my red 4runner. After 3 months, my crawler went through one, then last weekend the runner battery died (im pretty sure its the first time). The 2nd battery from my crawler was bein used as a test battery around my garage and after a few months, developed a dead short. When I picked up my new one I noticed the "MADE IN MEXICO" sticker and needed no explination... Its a damn shame, the WERE good batteries...
