Optima Red top leaking????

I hope this one works ok. I installed it and it cranked like it should. The charging voltage was 14.5 not 14.7 as on the old one. It dropped to 14.2 and not 14.44 like the old one. Spent an hour making the ECM relearn and now you have to look to see if it's running.

I have two redtops. One I installed January of 2000 and another one in March of 2004. Both are working just fine.

I have nothng against Optima. Things do happen. When I worked for Holley carb and GM I found new meant unused.
