Is it an Exide Orbital? I had one in the SVX for a while... it lasted longer than a Red Top. But the SVX demolishes gel cell batteries because of some crap about bad power frequency or something from the alternator. My plain old wet cell battery that in there now has latest 3 times longer than any gel cell had in the past.

I've just bought my Optimas from Kragen/O'Reilly since every time I need one, I need one right now to get the car started.
