Optima Battery

I have a 04 TL w/Navi. Where can I find the lowest price on Yellow Top D35. The lowest I found including shipping to CA is $169.99

Anywhere local is cheaper in Socal?

local stores will beat that due to shipping cost- and most parts stores will price match and beat any ad by 5%

You may consider an Interstate battery too- unless you are getting the marine-deep cycle battery, optima rocks those

how old is the battery? It could be covered under warranty if it's an Acura battery and under 3 years old.

I don't know if Sears still has them but if they do it would be a good place just because if you are on the road and something happens, there are 600 stores nationwide and they are always generous in regards to warranty coverage.

Thanks for all your reply, my battery just went out. I had the acura dealer check my battery and its low. The dealer wanted $120. Battery is not cover under non-powertrain warranty. The battery was replaced from the previous owner.

You guy know how much costco selling the Optima Yellow Top D35? Anywhere local?

Hey guy the main website say my Acura TL 04 use Yellow Top D35. Will Model 75/25 works? The reason because of the Model 75/25 have Positive Terminal on the left and Ground on the right. Which D35 is opposite. Since my cable is short and the positive terminal is on my left side. Wil Model 75/25 fit on my Acura TL 04?

I just had mine replaced with another Acura battery and they told me it has a 36 month warranty. I just grabbed the paper they gave me and its 100% coverage (including labor) up to 36 months. After 36 months its as follows for replacement batteries

37-45 months 60% covered, no labor covered
46-55 months 50%
56-65 months 40%
66-75 months 30%
79-85 months 20%
86-95 months 10%
96-100 months 5%

For Original equipment batteries (original) for cars 2005 and newer,
0-48 months 100% coverage

I can email this sheet to any who want it. Send me a PM
