[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 644003, member: 9031"] So in my research before I bought a yellow top last night, I found that the issue with optima and other lower end AGMs is they use recycled lead components. I hear from 2 suppliers they use almost 80% recycled lead and internals in red tops. So it makes me wonder how Duracell could possibly be using high quality internals and bring a $130 price tag. When X2 boasts a 99.9% virgin lead content at $300 and made in the USA I can't defend any of these companies as if I work for them. Just food for thought. I could have bought a $120 AGM Duracell last night. Something in my gut said it was a red top in a different package [/QUOTE]
