IIRC, mine is a branded "champion" battery. But it is actually a red top Optima.
 I was having problems this spring and thought it was failing, so I priced them and local they run about $130 now.
My problem turned out to be corrosion inside the bolt on brass POS battery clamp I use. NOTE: POS could stand for Positive, Or Piece of S**T, in this instance...
