Called Pep Boys asking about Optima Red Top. Sounds like the carry the 75 series. Those appear to be 650CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) instead of 800CCA (800 Series).

Anyone have experience with that series Optima?

At $109 they are about $30 cheaper.

if you look around there are some Optima Blems for 70 bucks everywhere. Optima ordered a bunch and the entire lot was built with the injected plastic color scheme backwards. the top is black and the body red. other than the color i can find no other difference. i got mine at an action auto but i have seen the advertisement at many other outlets. $.02

the pep boys near me had both models, the little one was $109 the bigger one was $119. I'm running the little one and haven't had any problems.

The thread via link above was old, the website selling the battery clearly stated that there would be a shipping charge.

Let us now how much shipping is.
