So I finally got around to take in my dead optima redtop to Advanced Auto for an exchange. After a few issues with me not being in their system (I have no clue why I purchased it from their sister store 8 miles away) I am out the door with a brand spanking new battery. I still have about 60 months left on the replacement warranty.

Now I sit here pondering to myself. Do I try to sell this thing for $100 bucks and stick with what I have? or do I slap it in there and figure out what to do with another battery laying in my garage?

Thoughts?

 

I had to swap 2 redtops since I had a parasitic drain on my electrical system that was killing the batteries. Once the red tops go to 0% dead they are no longer able to maintain a descent charge. So the guys at autozone allowed me to swap the 3rd time to a yellow top. The yellow top is a lot better battery and since it's a deep cycle battery you can drain it dead and it will recharge just fine with out any issues. So I'd suggest you take the dead battery to the original store and get a refund if they will allow or exchange to a yellow top and and sell off the new red.

 

I need to talk to my neighbor to see if he wants to buy it. But if not, I guess I will just stick it in my truck.
