I'm a cheap @$#%, I guess. Got a Bosch from Pep Boys Monday and installed it Wednesday night. Only $80, and I believe it's rated at 700CCA, 120-minute reserve. Comes with an 8-year warranty, and 36-month FREE replacement. Just couldn't see a reason to get the Optima for $160.
Looks like Pep Boys is the only place that sells them. They aren't even listed on the Bosch USA website. I have a feeling it might be a rebranded Die Hard. I'll let you know how it holds up. I needed the original battery replaced before freezing weather sets in for the winter.
Thanks that makes me feel better, I just changed mine last week at Advanced Auto Parts. Couldn't aford the Optima, so after trying 6 different of Their top line house brand finally found on that fit 750 cold cranking, cost around $80.00. So I'm ready for winter too. But I think we're the only 2 who didn't get Optima's
