Whatever man, the duralast gold is on par with all other high end normal (non-Optima or whatever) batteries, and they have never given me s*** about any kind of warranty issue, just bring the broken one in, get a new one, walk away.

Same thing with everstart from walmart - 35 series, 70 bucks, 3 yr replacement, 8 yr prorated
Please add your location to your profile
Thanks a lot, it's not that I am being cheap, I don't have 90 bucks to spend on a battery, and all the places I have called were over 80 plus tax.

lol theres plenty of cheap batteries at walmart... like 50 or less... as long as it fits your good
Well, batteries cannot be shipped (easily). and even if they could, the cost due to weight is very high, and would be more than the $50 fee for a Wal mart cheoporama.
If you have one, go to Advanced Auto and see if they have a used one. When I traded in my last car, I sold my Optima to a local guy, and then used a $15 used one. It worked fine.

I was under the impression that I had to buy the battery specifically for my car.

First of all.. it's pointless to buy used batteries, brakes, spark plugs, etc. Just buy them new.. end of story.
Second of all, like flyinm2008 mentioned.. it's gonna be a royal pain in the ass to ship one. The money you'd save cost wise on the batter itself, you'd end up paying for shipping.. not to mention that you're even allowed to ship batteries cuz they're very hazardous.
So with that being said, I support the going to Wal-Mart and just getting a cheap-o battery that will get you by for a while. However, if you're gonna dish out some cash for a battery.. it's VERY well worth it to go with an Optima. I've had my yellow top of 8 years now.. it's been in my P5 since the day it was born and before that it was in my old DSM. Still cranks like a champ to this day..

cool, my one friend had a battery sitting in his garage that he had bought for his son's Jetta. They put it in the car it started for a couple days then went dead, so he thought the battery was junk. He went out and bought a Diehard and it did the same thing. Needless to say the car had a bad alternator. And he had a extra battery, so I was able to get the battery
what does the Optima do that other batterys don't?
OPTIMA is like no other battery in the world. The unique SpiralCell design offers the most advanced technology and provides a strong and clean power source that far surpasses any of today's filled lead-acid batteries.

Since today's power demand from cars, trucks, and SUVs are greater than ever, it's even more important to install a power source you can count on.

We continue to add more lights, LCD screens, gaming systems, stereos, laptops, cell phones and a bunch of other accessories into our vehicles. All of these electronics demand a better, more powerful battery.

The long list of benefits including 2x longer-life, leak-proof, vibration resistance, multi-position installation, longer shelf-life and higher reserve capacity make OPTIMA batteries the choice of millions.
