Not solid state, Absorbed Glass Mat.

And yes, once they are toast, they don't come back. I recently had my Red Top go down, form lack of driving. It charged back up, but only lasted another 2 months before it died all together. Now I have the 1000 CCA Red Top in it.

Alright, the battery I had turned out to be toast, so I picked up a DieHard from Sears. I don't want to drop $150 for an Optima on a car that I probably won't keep for much longer. I haven't hooked it up yet (need to put my trailing coil back on) But I'm pretty confident that the battery will fix the problem.
