Optima Battery?

Anyone know shops around the bay that may have/can get(by Friday/Monday) a Yellow Top Optima Battery @ a decent price that would fit a 05 G35? So far ive been to pep boys, Winchester auto, Costco, Walmart, Few local stereo shops, Auto Zone(they were gonna charge 210 i think and would take a week and a half to get it) But none have the Yellow Top Optima D35 series in stock. they either have the honda size or some bigger size which has the + on the left not the -. any info helps thanks!

Try Monument Auto Parts. They stock Optima and may have it in stock. Not sure how far you are willing to travel.

Good luck!

Sams club can get them and are one of the lowest prices. If you can't find a 35, you can get a 34R, that is what I run.

They are very beneficial to those that have audio systems running higher current. I have had them in several vehicles and they have been great.

Optima Battery has taken the clean, reliable, high-power output that made the OPTIMA Red Top starting battery famous and engineered in DEEP CYCLE ability. The OPTIMA BATTERY Yellow Top Deep Cycle uses the same unique SPIRALCELL Technology that outperforms and outlasts conventional flat plate batteries. The OPTIMA BATTERY design uses the same elements that Optima used to make the Red Top Starting battery. Then Optima Battery engineers then increased the battery plate density. This design gives the OPTIMA BATTERY YELLOW TOP the ability to be deeply discharged and recharged without giving up the famous Optima Battery high starting ability.


THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY provides high power output resulting in greater cranking ability at high current loads.

THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY is fully recharge in as little as one hour.

THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY has been verified in Life Cycle testing to exceed 350 complete discharges.

THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY won't spill, leak, or corrode. THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY can be mounted in any position - sideways, or even upside down.

THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY lasts two to three times longer than conventional batteries. Optima Battery engineers have used high purity lead design provides a much longer shelf life, meaning THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY can sit unused for up to one year and still start your vehicle.

The 35 and R34 both have the positive terminal on the right. The 34R is a tiny bit larger and is 800/1000.

Thats why you dont have the car jerking issue Troy even without caps. I didnt know you have the optima Frog, not sure if this helps since u seem to be in a rush, but the cheapest price I found for optima yellow was amazon. Free shipping FTW. Good luck.
