NEVER BUY from AMAZON!!! October 6, 2009

Yes, yet another reviewer advising you NOT to buy this battery from here!
The battery itself is great, however I have a defect where it only would crank at 170cca and still started. But, Optima states Amazon is NOT an authorized seller and Amazon will NOT return or exchange the battery.
Optima was reluctant at 1st call to exchange it for me but ended up having me take it to an Interstate Battery shop for them to test and exchange it, LUCKILY.
I see some other reviewers weren't so lucky and I suggest they look into contacting Optima for the Interstate Battery store route.
Amazon claims it is a hazardous item but the OPTIMA battery is a sealed battery. Its the fact that Amazon is not authorized to sell them that really bothers me...
Bottom line ::
DO BUY AN OPTIMA BATTERY, BUT DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!
I took off 1 star for the experience, being mostly Amazon's fault. But the battery should not have failed so soon...
 this battery stinks and amazon stinks too September 24, 2009

I have had this battery for less than two weeks and it's failed already.
Amazon won't take it back (something about it being hazardous). I contacted optima and they
said I have to take it back to amazon. Amazon said to talk to optima. Major run around.
Optima said that I should have bought it from a local dealer, blaming amazon. Amazon won't even reply to me.
This is the worse experience ever. This battery is not cheap either. It claims to have a 3 year replacement warranty and I can't even get it to work for two weeks and all I get is a run-around and customer no-service.
Jeers to amazon and optima.
now I'm not only out $130, I have to go buy another battery so I can get to work.
:( :( :(
Good Battery, poor shipping ! September 23, 2009

Well, I've been an Optima Battery user for years. Even before they were bought by Johnson something(whatever the new company is called).
I read all reviews, but I still took my chances and ... luck is not with me maybe ?
Amazon does have the best price all over BUT ... Its not good if its BROKEN !
it came with a thin box thats about the same size as the battery itself. with "NO PROTECTION/WARP" around the battery. I mean its ok to use a small box, but the battery is like 30 something 40 pounds shouldn't there be some sort of protection around it? we all know how UPS handle their packages.
First one came broken at the corner, called customer service, the lady told me they will ship another one, they dont want the broken one back so I threw it away at some recycling center, wait another week something, 2nd one came, and it got the same fate, broken at the corner. :(
After speaking with Amazon, they apologize and issued a refund.
Maybe Amazon got billions dollars of business every year so they dont cared. who knows.
Amazon Customer Service is really good. The lady I spoke with was very professional.
Buying this from Amazon is a gamble. will I take the chance again? maybe. I still need a battery and the locals here charge at least 50 dollars more for the same battery. Maybe I should give Yellow top a shot ?
 Great battery July 14, 2009

This battery installed perfectly into my 2003 Mazda Protege ES. Have not had any problems since the installation (about 2 months ago). I performed the install myself and it did take a little time as their are no instructions provided and it is not obvious how to install this battery wtih the red plastic height adapter that is provided (may not be needed depending on your car).
WARNING: NO Warranty if purchased from Amazon May 29, 2009

Optima red top batteries normally come with a full 3 year replacement warranty, but not if you purchase it from Amazon. My 16 month old Optima failed and Optima customer service said Amazon is responsible for warranty claims. The Amazon CSR stated there is only the normal 30 day warranty on these items, they do not honor or assist you in getting regular warranty service. I would NEVER consider making a similar purchase from Amazon again.
