Re: Optima batteries at Cosco (Viprklr)
Does Cosco have a website where I could order one online?

Jlborba,
I don't think you can beat the $99 Costco price. Our local Interstate Store wants ~$170 for a yellow...probably a little less for the red. I would get the red, unless your car is undriven for long periods.

Thanks guys, for that price I'll but two (one for suburban and one for the vette). I don't think they have a website for online purchases but check out your local cosco. These batteries just showed up in the last month!! :cool:

Get the red top if you do not let it set for more than a month. The red top is used for automobiles and has 930 + cracking amps. You can't go wrong with either but the red is what is recommended!!! :crazy:

Johnson Controls maker of Costco Kirkland batteries. Recently bought out manufacture of Red top batteries. I hope Johnson controls does not try and cheapen the Red top line of batteries.
