TOY: Optima Red Top - Purchased

[DRM033@xxxxxxx]

Thanks for all of the tips & suggestions...

I found LOTS of places that sell them, and lots of prices.  The best I found 
was a friend gave me the email of a guy who could get me one for $113 
delivered.
I thought about it, but then decided that if I ever needed a warranty claim, 
buying one from an auto parts store would be my best option.
Was resigned to buying one from Advance Auto for $129 plus tax, but happened 
to stop by Pep Boys and what did I see - 2 Optima batteries!  Both were red 
tops, one was lower ca than the other and they were priced $109 and $119 
respectively.  I went ahead & got this one:

This is the other one:
http://www.optimabatteries.com/products/starter/7535-925.htm - $109

Not knowing any other difference, I got the one with the higher ca and cca 
ratings :-)

Once I return my battery, I walked away with this one for just under $130... 
more than I would like, but not too bad for the convenience of having it NOW, 
especially since I had to roll-start the truck through the yard just to get 
to work today ;-)

Thanks again!
