There is Battery Bills downtown that I have dealt with for years for work, but last time in, the woman behind the counter wasn't the most pleasant person to deal with. And we were trying to buy just under a grand in batteries. Instead I tried out batteries plus over on Greenback by the Sunrise Mall and they were great.

thanks guys, it's not for me; one of my troops lives in sac and he has been going rounds with a used Beemer. His battery died today and he was shopping at the "normal" places like autozone. He was being given numbers like $189 for a battery and of course they were pushing Ultimas. So I was just trying to find him a battery shop that would steer him right and not try to rape his wallet.

I just found out that the Optima's they sell now are AGM batteries. The originals were gel cel and would, last 5+ years. The new AGM Optima's suck. I have a Redtop Optima that is about 1.5 years old. Since I started upgrading my axles last September it has slowly gone dead to the point where it wouldn't come back no matter what. I'm pretty disappointed in them. I'll definitely try a Die Hard platinum next.

Optima has never bin a gel battery but they did change something in the last ten years because the new ones are crap. I like this battery and its 2pounds
