Hi Gary,
  What a price !!!  I am having a hard time finding one and the price is 
generally $150.00.  I am going to keep looking. Costco stated they only carry 2 
redtop optima models.
   
  THANKS !
  Paul

Hi Everyone,

I am planning on purchasing a Optima or Odyssey battery this week. RWM 
shared he purchased a 51 R. I believe this model has reverse poles. Is this 
required on our Roadsters?

I am concerned about battery size, weight, and cold cranking. Some of the 
larger Optima batteries weight 50lbs ! Gee how much did our original 
batteries weight?

Please share what Optima or Odyssey battery model worked for you. 

Thanks !
