I used to go to a car stereo shop that stocked them. If there are any close by to you, I'd call them.... worth a shot

We sell them for $185 and have them in within a day. I am responding to this because I see you are in South Jersey so you can come pick it up.

I bought mine from this guy. I paid 138 including shipping. They look like they have gone up about 10 bucks.

It has been my experience that those optima battery's are heavy.

I have one in the garage and it weighs 45#.

It is about 10 years old and still kicks butt. I have used it for everything from Dune buggy to camping trailer and my son had it in his car for over a year.

I gave up on it and let it go dead for 6 months. Then put it on the charger and spaced it out (like 3 weeks). Was digging around on that shelf looking for something else and relized it was hot. To Hot to touch, Red jelly was on the top.
Unplugged it and stuck it in a car for a year after that.

It is a Red one and just won't die.

I recommend SVR batteries. An SVR80 is 80ah while the yellow top is 55ah. It also has 800cca as opposed to the yellow's 750cca. The only downside is that the SVR is 57lbs while the yellow top is 43lbs. Although you do get 45% more capacity for that extra weight.

Try Costco. They had Yellow top opnes when I was there. I got a red top Optima for $99, way cheaper than the $119 I saw at local car stores.
