John,
Tom,
I bought the genuine, original Optima Yellow top at a recent LR rally (Old
North State's Uwharrie Safari) for $89 from 4X4 Connection, obviously a
great price which also avoided shipping charges. We are attempting to round
up vendors for ROAV's Mid Atlantic Rally October 5-7 and hopefully 4X4
Connection will be one of them...good folks.
As you are probably aware, Optima has licensed their spiral wound battery
cell technology to Excide, Champion and others. Exide is also handling all
warranty clains for Optima products, so claims service nationwide is easy to
find.
If your battery need can wait, check with Tim Nichols at 4X4Connection
(4X4Connection.com) and check his price. Tell him ROAV referred you. I'm
sure with a bit of encouragement, he will bring his large trailer full of
goodies to the MAR (along with your battery), and you can ! aviod shipping
charges and enjoy
