Optima Yellowtops are considered to be the best by many.
FHRX can give you a price, but I don't the he can (or is allowed) to do mail-order on these.
Autobarn usually can get them in for you, or a specialist battery place should be able to as well.

Buy a yellowtop... It will end up saving u money. They'll last for years... And you can run them totally flat hundreds of times or leave them for months and they wont drain themselves. Around $300
Odyssey are on the same level...

$300 is a good price, shop around and u should find it for that....
I think $350 - $400 rrp.
Well worth the money considering it'll be the last battery u buy

I've been using a marine battery in my van for the last 4 years and its still going strong. They are ruggedised, have very high CCA for their size (mines 600CCA) , last for years and only cost a bit more than a standard heavy duty Battery. Even autobarn sells em. :cool:
We're more than happy to ship Optima's etc around the country. Remember also that we offer AMC members discounts too. ;)

I just got an Optima D34 delivered for under $350 from Marty ( although I dont live that far away.... 21kg :shock: ) It is rated at 750CCA, it is running 2 Audison amps, SRx2 and SRx2s for a total of around 750WRMS :D
It is worth it if it will last longer.

What about the Odyssey batteries, i looked on your price list FHRX and checked the manufacturers website and saw the Odyssey batteries had higher CCA per price compared to Optima.
Though i didnt find much info on how they are designed like the Optima ones you get a description on why they are good.
Cause ill be looking for a better battery sometime in the near future and wondering which would be better Odyssey or Optima Yellow Top?
Thanks
