Cheapest place to buy Optima Yellow Top? And any reason not to buy one?

[BigSwede]

I just bought an Optima from Amazon, free shipping, arrived with no problems. We'll see how long it lasts. Optimas are odd ducks though, lotsa times when people think they are dead, they can be revived. They just don't act like a conventional battery.

I had a redtop optima in my proton up until last year when it died. Replaced it with a 'yellow top' (to match the proton, of course) Duralast Gold Series battery from AutoZone. The color is pretty close too! Great battery with 800 CCA's (one of the highest cca's i could find) and 8-year warranty w/3-year free replacement (if i remember right!). Kept on trickle charge over winter months. I use a battery-minder with desulphation feature. Good investment for all my batteries. The battery is AutoZone's best battery and it cost about $79 +tax. Not bad!

I had a yellow top in the VX and it lasted a little over 2 years and then just died for no reason. I had a red top in there this last time and it made it 3 years I believe. Now I installed an Autozone Duralast gold top (because the numbers were the same or better in every category and it was way cheaper).
