Anybody have an Optima Red Top car battery laying around that's bad? I NEED it BAD!

Anybody have an Optima Red Top car battery laying around that's bad? Looking for a 75 series.

Mine went bad, so yesterday I bought an Interstate battery. This morning, I found the receipt for the Optima battery, so I went back and told them I needed it back. They already gave it to the interstate truck guy as a core. So I drove to the Warehouse, they sent it out this morning.

So I need one, even if it's old and bad, so I have one to give them back.

I already talked with the original store I bought the Optima at. I told them the whole story and he just told me to bring one in with the receipt and he'll give me a new one.

Warranty over there must be a lot better on those POS batteries than here, at one time I had 5 of those things that were bad..never again. They may look good but they are junk.
