Was at Costco yesterday here in Sacramento, and noticed they are selling Optima Red Top $108, and Yellow Top $128. Just thought you people out there might want to know.

 

I know where I am getting my next battery.

 

Excuse my ignorance, but what's so good about Optima batteries?

 

whoa! thanks for informing us. I gotta run down to costco and check it out.

btw- how much are they selling em online for.... battery+shipping. I'd search.... but blah lol.

 

how do you get to the auto section of their website?

 

I 2nd the question, .. why are they so good ???

 

sealed, maintance free, gel cel, deep cycle, batteries. The best for car audio.

 

i am heading over there this weekend

 

me too

 

thats dirt cheap!! i paid almost $200 for my Yellow top

I was surprised to see those batteries there. WTF is up with "Kirkland" ??

Kirkland: batteries, cakes, muffins, ice cream, lawn mowers, etc...

 

and.... socks! my mom got be a bundle of those a long time ago...

 

Kirkland equals cheap national brand. Check out most of there items and you'll see the real brands.

 

Kirkland is a suburb of Seattle, the area that Costco is based. Kirkland Krap.

But I just bought an Optima Red top for $103 here in a So Cal Costco store.

 

which So Cal Costco did you go to? Did they have the yellow top? must check out my local costco (burbank) this weekend.

 

Different COSTCOs have different batteries, I think. We've had the new Red tops here for awhile, but one of the COSTCOs in Hawaii just started carrying the blue top batteries as well! (The others don't have the blue tops).

Aloha,

I called Costco here in ATL and they said they only carry the kirkland batteries.

 

They had red and more recently blue tops at the Costco here by Qualcomm stadium in SD. No yellow.

 

What size/type will fit the Maxima? I've read some mods are necessary, but which model red top will adapt the best? Is there a part number? Thanks.

Update 11/5/2002 -- Bought red top at the new Costco in Glenview, Illinois for $103. They only carry one size which happens to fit the Maxima (35/75 720 CCA's).
