Where do you recommend picking up a red top OPTIMA battery?
Just wanted to see if anyone recommends a particular place to pick them up. Thanks in advance. I'm located in Nor Cal.

Re: (NVturbo)
i'm with axtran, just get a regular battery.
i had a red top, it worked for a little less then a year before it crapped out. the battery would not hold a charge. every morning the car would struggle to start. i brought it back and got a new one (warranty), but the new one did the exact same thing after about 5 months.. you can charge them as much as you want, but the next morning your car is still not going to start.
i now have a ac delco battery and it works perfect. plenty of juice in it, even when i'm driving with my stereo cranked up all day... oh, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper!

you should find an interstate batteries warehouse near you. they own optima, and alot of times you can purchase them at a wholesale price at the warehouse. if you work at a business that even remotely has anything to do with cars then you can have them deliver it and you will def. get it at wholesale. ive had 2 yellow tops for about 6 years still going strong, and ive run them dead many times. their great batteries.

I bought my car used and it has a exide battery. Whenever I start the car, it struggles to turn over despite being mornings or afternoons. Just figured I'll get a battery with more cranking amps. Thanks for the help guys.

Then you have another issue. Either the batter you have is just passed it's life or you have another problem.
I have whatever crap battery came with my car (maybe even from the factory) and it will still start is some extremely cold conditions.
