Also you can plug your car model info into Amazon and the website will automatically tell you if it fits your vehicle. |

I don't trust optima batteries, there like little bombs. One wiring mistake and you have an explosion rather than just a dead battery. I seen this happen in two boats and a pickup, all of them things that would have caused a normal battery to just die gracefully.

At the shop we use Interstate out of convenience because they deliver, but the product is no better than NAPA, autozone and so on. If you're looking for a good long lasting battery, then you can't beat Diehard. With proper maintenance, all the Diehards that I've installed lasted on average 4-5 years (Diehard Gold). Once the OE battery fails in the Camaro, I will be replacing it with a AGM Diehard(Platinum series). Also another good brand that I've come across is Exide, but they tend to be harder for the regular consumer to acquire.

Anyway just passing on the info that it is in fact available. Hopefully the replacement is packed a little better. |

I must say I have owned at least 6 or 7 optima batteries over the years, the first four might have been the best batteries on planet the..The last few made Walmart everstarts look like the better option... I will never buy another one again. They just die after 24-36 mouths

Definitely don't waste your money on a Optima. My first one leaked, which they are not supposed to and the replacement barely lasted one and a half years.

AC Delco replacement from the dealer. remember reserve capacity is more an indicator of quality than cranking amps.

The HOME DEPOT carries batteries that fit our cars with a 48 month warranty for around $135. I love AMAZON, they have a MILLION Camaro parts at great price. BTW If you put an item on your AMAZON Wish List the price will go down over time, also check their "used" prices. I bought HOTCHKIS Lowering Springs for $160, open box item. HAPPY MODDING!!
