Are there places that sell it anywhere cheaper than let's say $140 shipped for one new?

-Ben

 

autozone has them for 160? i believe...

 

Ok thanks, I went ahead and ordered one from http://optimabatterystore.com/ for $130 shipped.

-Ben

 

Nice price!!!

 

Ebay

 

I got mine at Pep Boys. Around $140? Plus, you dont have to wait for it to be shipped.

 

Costco carries the Red Top and Blue Top, forgot how much though.

 

Yea, I was hoping somewhere local had them cheap, I guess I can wait on shipping for $10 less.

-Ben

 

i think costco has blue tops for that price.

 

hmm, might have to check out costco....

 

$140 shipped is a good deal, but eBay should be cheaper.
-Cyrus

 

last time i checked ebay it was like 95-120 + 30 bucks for shipping...something like that....

 

anyone find better prices?

 

I just bought an Optima Red top on ebay for $120 shipped on Monday from OptimaBatteryStore.com. ebay username "partsmore"

 

ooook, i'm very interested, just 2 or 3 questions

1) did u match the model number with the newest model of the yellow optimum battery sold in all stores?

2) does it show the production date of the battery on the battery? if not when did he say they were made?

3) how long is shipping? i live next to u kind of so i should get it same time as u would on average...

i'm in need of a new battery and will be getting an optima yellow but looking for cheapest price and waht u told me seems to be cheapest but answer these questions for me please so i can order one if i'm happy...

 

1) I bought the Red top with side terminals, their most popular model
2) I did not ask when it was made and have not received it yet
3) UPS tracking shows it will be delivered today

 

hmmm, red would match my car better well keep me updated on what happens.

 

According to UPS tracking, the battery was delivered this morning. That was 4 business days from time of order to time of delivery (Mon to Fri), and it was free shipping. Great vendor...

Yellow Top- $139.99 Shipped

Red Top- $119.95 Shipped

-Tony

 

its good that they have free shipping but doesnt stores like pep boys and autozone have the yellow top for like the same price?

 

Costco has Red Top for 99.95 at least in Colorado they do

 

ok, i'm definitely checking out costco some time next week. Did u see yellow tops there by any chance?

 

Optima batteries are made in Colorado, that's probably why

 

Which model are we suppose to buy?

 

 

I got the 850U with side terminals, that's the most common one

 

great, u said yours has side terminals? does that mean u have 4 or the normal two at the top are now at the side? Did u get it yet and if so does it look legit?

 

It's got 2 terminals on top, 2 terminals on the front.

Look legit? What do you mean? It's an Optima Red top, that's all I can say

 

what are the differences between the colors?

 

Red Top...starting power
Yellow Top...deep cycle for running high powered accessories
Orange Top...same as red top but terminals are reversed
Blue Top...for boats (but can be used in cars too)

 

i meant no scratched serials or production date is recent on the battery, etc.

 

You're kidding right?

 

u never know, i've heard of people selling really old batteries before, they could be stolen, half the time thats what ebay is all about (not that i care if a battery is stolen but i do care about date) and model

 

The seller had hundreds of positive feedbacks and the auction display was very professional

 

OMFG, i just went out to look for a new battery and the yellow top is going for 160 everywhere!! WTF!

 

Buy it from the ebay seller then, duh!!

FYI- Tuesday night at Bald Hill I had my strobes, neons, cd player and HID's running for over an hour and the Optima still started the car right up when I turned the key

 

Costco has red tops for $99.00 and blue tops for $129.00 they will work with Maximas. They dont carry the Yellow tops though

 

yea, i just bought mine from autozone for 160. I didnt want to wait almost a week for 20 bucks, especially when i was borrowing someone else's battery and desperately wanted to blast some music

My car actually starts up faster and feels a little faster or is just in my head

 

Should start up faster, but there's no way it drives faster you weirdo

 

yea its all in my head but my car definitely starts up faster and even when my car is dead now, all electronics in my car start up like a champ

i'm very happy with my battery, ****ED at my car grrrr

 

I hate to say this I think he is stupid though. My gfs dad works at Autozone has a used redtop sittin at his front door step. Just left it there, Yeah dork!! You know Im kinda tempted to gank that bad boy. Hes gone for a week too. May just test it in the maxi while hes gone, then slip it back before he gets back. (Devilish eyes!!) Hmm time to ask when he'll be back muwahahahahaa!!!
