Check w/ Optima Manufacturer
I have had two red tops both were great! I did find while searching the web optimas plant phone numbers. Their red top battry cost alot more than I paid from Pep boys. The engr. said the auto supply stores buy the batteries that are inferior to the ones that they sell. Kind of a lower grade. I don't know what to think but if you check the prices you'll find about $75-100 dollars difference.
I can't prove any of this but reporting what the manufacturer told me. Maybe I can or some else search this out and report to all of us if this is in fact correct.
Example Discount tire rep told me a certain tire I needed was sold by their store at a price 15-20% more than the same tire from Walmart. He said Walmart tire is a lower grade of the same model with Walmart specs. I e-mail the tire manufacture and they replied the tires are the exact same model, same specs. everything. I took it to Discount tire and they got red faced and admitted they were wrong.
I wonder if this is the same but different. Manufacturer saying something wrong against retailer/vendor. My 2 cents.
