[Supras] Anyone have any issues with the Exide Sub Zero78DT Battery?

[Sean Cavanaugh]

That was my old 87 N/A that it came up. I just got my 90 Turbo running this past weekend and its getting the yellowcap off the bat. my radio and CD player i had in my old car might have been what was causing a higher than normal drain.
