Anyone know a good place to buy Optima or equivalent batteries at a good price?

 

Eric,

I don't know what you feel a good price is for an Optima battery but Summit has them for $125.95 to $172.69 depending on the model you choose.

PN:- ULT-9014-045 Dual terminal, deep-cycle battery "Yellow-Top" is a popular choice. Here is a link for you:- http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...th&part=optima

If you come across any great deal with another supplier let us know.

 

Thanks for the link. The dual post yellow top they are selling for $172 can be bought at Autozone for $159. I was just trying to find something cheaper than that. You can get them on ebay for about $145 but I was trying to stay away from using ebay. Thanks.

 

you can go to advanced auto and get it for 149.00. for the yellow top and 109.00 for the red top dual post

 

i work for SEARS auto and we price match so if you find a cheap price online or anywhere else and your close to a SEARS, print out the price and go there. they will match it and beat it by 10-20% that goes for tires too...

 

Sears now carries Optima?

 

I ordered my dual-terminal yellow top from here:

http://www.optimabatterystore.com/

$139.99, and that includes shipping.

I chose this place because it had the batteries cheap, and free shipping. Can't top that. Batteries weigh a ton.

I love this battery!

 

Optima red top....99.99. At your local Navy Exchange Auto Center. It's pays to be military sometimes....and no tax on that either....

 

murrays here in michigan sells the red for 75. i picked up my red top from circuit city almost 5 years ago. for stereo competition and separate battery use the yellow is great. for a car battery and mild stereo use the red is perfect and has a much better warranty.

 

I picked up a red top for $115.00 at Pep Boys last month.

 

weirdest thing ever.....i just had an optima battery in my car (red top) for the first time and it started leaking out of the negative terminal?!?!? has anyone had any problems with these batteries because i only had the thing for a couple months and i am less then impressed.

 

leaking...? interesting for a dry cell.

 

anyone who still cares - optima red top batteries available, where else, at costco!

mine was 89.99

good luck

 

80-100 is a good range. main reason i went with drycell was regulation required ventilation tubes when mounting in the trunk and i didn't want to do that so a drycell was a natural choice. i've been very happy with mine.

 

I thought even though you still had a dry cell battery you were still required to put the battery in a sealed and vented box at the track? Or am I wrong here?

 

See the two links below, they explain things very well:-
