I got a shop here.....139.95 plus fukin 8% NYS tax Figure 150 total. Sounds a bit high. BUT I don't have to wait/pay for shipping.

Does this hi po batter help when sitting at stoplights? It seems like with my headlights and 85w fogs the car is under some strain. Do you think the battery would act as a capacitor and help it say at a red light in Drive? My lights don't dim but I can feel it in the steering wheel. And No...the answer is not to bump up the idle...that messes up a few things...I can explain later.

i paid about $124 +tax here in Houston about two months ago... I called up a few places and found that price to be the cheapest around.

I'm not sure if it works like a cap but it does deliver more power than the battery that came with from nissan. i have never heard of headlights making our battery strain only from the power they use. maybe your running a stereo system that drains your battery and makes your lights look their straining. i dunno...

get it locally..i called around a few places and the guy was a distributor for the interstate batteries and he sold the optimas. i walked in he said 125..i say ok..i gave him 140 he says..."you have change" i say nope..he passed the 20 back..and i said thanks. all cash..no tax.
is it a cap?? i dunno but it does hold a nice reserve power and it works pretty good w/ the stereo and the lights..no dimming at all.

My car does the same thing that you are talking about. Just wondering what the problems are with bumping the idle up?

 

DANny...where did u get ur red top for only $125? is it in new york city?

 

if any of you guys in SF Bay area i get the Interstate/Optima Red, yellow, or blue tops. Red tops are about $105-$115. If interested in Yellow or Blue let me know and ill get a price. Later
