Do Sam's Club or Costco carry them? Have you tried an Interstate Battery distributor?

You may have to order them online.

AZ in Seffner, 33584 ph# (813)684-8809, has Yellow tops 159.99,

I called a frined of mine that wns a shop in brandon and he said the best bet is Adv Auto or AZ that is where he bought his as he would have paid about 15 more with his dealer pricing.

I got mine at Batteries Plus. They have a huge selection of Yellow Tops. Here are all the stores in Florida. There is one in Clearwater and one in Tampa. http://www.batteriesplus.com/storesbystate.aspx?st=FL

I know nothing about the batteries in our cars since they are still under warranty.

Do we need a special type? I guess so since you can't find the d51r.

How much is the d51r from Safe-start?

Last time I tried they were on backorder and Optima told the supplier it was because the Army purchased all of them and they were trying to re-stock.

Might be a lie but I got a similar story from a few places.
