Well it's about time the 'Ol bird gets a new battery and I've always heard great things about Optima Red Top batteries so I think that's the direction I'm going to go. My question though, is are the AutoZone Optima batteries the same as you'd get from other places? The reason I ask is because I know there are several manufacturers (not necessarily for batteries) that will "de-tune" so to speak, or use cheaper parts in certain products for places like BestBuy, Home Depot, Wal-Mart and such. Does anyone know if Optima does the with Autozone?
As I'm sure you know money is very tight and I don't want a junk battery.
Thanks for the help guys.
