Sorry, should have clarified that's what I was indicating above.
An Optima Red top also will not charge on a "normal" battery charger.
I've charged the Optima before on the charger I have, seems to work fine. Is there a better one you'd recommend, or beyond that, maybe a better battery? The Optima has never let me down before, but if there's something better out there that's cheaper, I'm definitely interested.

I'd recommend a CTEK charger, as you can use it to charge the battery, and maintain it during the winter when the car is in storage. It has leads that you can leave attached to the terminals.
Look for a CTek Multi US 3300.
