Marine/RV Battery
OPTIMA Blue Top batteries, featuring SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY, are designed for all of your marine and RV, starting and deep cycle needs.
Vibration Resistant
The constant vibration and jarring from waves can be deadly for traditional marine batteries. The tightly wound construction in OPTIMA batteries minimizes plate movement and subsequent damage caused by harsh conditions - extending battery life.

Constant Performance Quality
OPTIMA Blue Top batteries provide constant performance quality as they are discharging. Even as energy is being drained, your equipment will perform at the same level as when the battery was fully charged. Meaning, you will not hear or feel your equipment slow down or strain for power.

Nonspillable
Because of its completely sealed case, OPTIMA Blue Top batteries are extremely safe. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or clean terminals.
Retains Charge / Recharges Faster
Marine batteries sometimes sit for months at a time and lose their charge. But the OPTIMA Blue Top battery has such a low rate of self-discharge, that it can go unused for up to one year without recharging, if it's kept at room temperature or below. And because of its low internal resistance, it recharges faster, getting you back on the water quickly.

Mounts in Almost Any Position
OPTIMA Blue Top batteries are leak proof, so they can be mounted anyplace inside boats or RVs, in almost any position.

after shipping charges roughly $25 for it.. Its going to be $107.16 plus tax + 25 shipping = 127.16 which is a great deal.

Well not to say your not an honest person but how are we suppose to trust someone that has one post which means you probably just joined. I would send you money but I really like to deal with credible people and right now you have no credit.

O well then COD?

Is that good enough for you then COD? btw im talking with the owner of paradox systems some great news heh There is a company in phoenix that will make red/clears for 95-96 you heard me right red/clears. I just got back from the company it will cost roughly $1500-2000 for the mold and $26 to make them. $26 for left and $26 for right. I am deadly serious. They also clam it will meet or beat oem standards in the fitting and coloring of the red to match the inner taillights or the mold is free. They have been in business for over 25 years with the experence of abs plastic and in fact will guarantee it which is good enough for me. Ill be putting out $2000 of my own money and plan to sell to custommaxima.com and paradox-systems.com I hope to see them selling it for $150 ill be ****ed if they sell it for anymore. I want everyone to be able to afford the lights at a reasonable price. Talk to you soon bye.
