The best thing is I can get it warrantied just about anywhere whith little hastle should the need ever arise.   Michael Slade (Serious_one) Member Username: Serious_one Post Number: 48 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:32 pm:    Carter's got a good point. You may be able to find them 10-20 bucks cheaper mail order, but you'd have to pay shipping (remember they're not light). The convenience factor weighs heavy when it comes time to warantee. Yeah, Optima's should be waranteed wherever you bought them from, but if you walked in with an Autozone reciept you'd be set. I think that they're owned by the French though, so take that into consideration if it matters. ;) Michael   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 511 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:34 pm:    Seriously what isn't owned by the French???   Ben Ziskind (Tyziskben) Member Username: Tyziskben Post Number: 54 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 07:36 pm:    The best price I've found so far is 155.99 for the battery and 5.95 for shipping, regardless of weight...........anybody got anything better??? Sunn Battery company is where this deal's at.........

The one near me sells two different colored Optima's. I dont remember which ones they were. They had the best prices that I saw anywhere.
