Default Haven't bought an Optima battery in a while, WOW.
I have one in both my vehicles, and the Monte needs a new one. Went to Autozone where I bought the last one, price now is about $80 more than the last one I bought. Wow.

Try Amazon. I bought one 2-weeks ago and they were $60+/- cheaper and had free shipping. I had it in 2-days

This - $146 from amazon with FREE 2 day shipping vs $198 from Autozone. Plus they had a promo going on in April where you got a free tender (99$) or %50 off their large battery charger ($199) for buying an Optima.

WIN!

That's actually a pretty good question. BRB - doing research.

Edit: Theres a link on the Amazon Sale page called Details about your product warranty. But when I click it I get an error.

The Optima's really don't like to sit and not be used. Great battery but you can never let it go dead. Once it goes dead it never comes back the same. Gotta keep it charged, keep it on a trickle charger. Even if its not hooked up to anything. Iv'e gone through way too many!
