Maybe the search function would be of asistance... doing a search for "Optima" returned 70 results. Probably in one of them.

Alternative and more info...

Search on my previous post for "exide" or "orbital". also has info you may need on the Optima.

If you really want to save money, Why not just get a NAPA battery it does everything as that expensive Optima but for lots less.. It may not look as nice as that Optima but it does all the same...

Just a suggestion here.

is the napa battery a gel battery? deep cycle? 825 CCA? long reserves? These are all qualities of an optima that 90% of the "regular" batteries simply can't deliever.
