Optima Yellow D35 Battery

$283 OPTIMA Batteries High Performance D35 YellowTop Dual Purpose Sealed AGM Car, Truck and SUV Battery, 620 CCA, Maintenance Free, Versitile Mounting

Amazon has the Optima D35 YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery (8040-218) for $143, with free S&H.

 

I think i paid like $115 at autozone......

 

Damn. Like an idiot, I didn't shop around first and bought my D35 from Advance Auto for $250.

 

Not sure when/where you got that deal, but Autozone is currently showing $210...

 

This was like 2 years ago.... I would never spend over $200 on a battery.

 

So, you're using a "like $115" deal you got "like 2 years ago" as a benchmark for what constitutes a decent deal today?

I'm not interested in spending over $200 for a battery either. Thankfully, this is only $143 which, according to a couple of Internet searches I did, appears to be $30-$40 cheaper than today's going price...

 

would this batttery be a good choice for a high wattage stereo? 2 amps totaling over 1500 watts. ive always ran optima but never a yellow top

 

Yes. Yellow tops are designed to provide the deep-cycling capability required to support accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, etc.

 

very nice, and to be positive, the d35 is the battery our truck needs right?

 

Don't our trucks use either the 27f or 24f depending on towing package?

I bought a 35 at costco because it was a good deal but the connectors weren't a direct fit. I decided to take it back because I didn't want to hassle with trying to get it to fit.

Here is the part No's for the V6 engines with tow package directly from Optima's site.

Oh and that is a good price from Amazon. I have been watching that price for a while now and it does beat most everyone else, like Costco,autoanything and rockauto. But Autoanything says that if you find another price they will match it up to a year from purchase.

 

You should be running a Capulator on that to save your battery..

 

I bought the

$360 Optima D27F YellowTop Dual Purpose Sealed AGM Car, Truck and SUV Battery, 830 CCA, Maintenance Free, Versitile Mounting

Optima D27F for my Tacoma.

 

I worked for autozone about 10 years ago and they were 149$.. Getting one for 115$ sure, but from Autozone, no way.

 

According to Optima, and as reported by taco084gb, the correct Yellow top for our trucks is D35 (8040-218).

dam i want 2 of these!

 

I ordered one a few years ago from Amazon, they put it in a fridge size box with a single piece of paper stuffing. Ended up with 2 batteries and my money back

 

Guess that's part of the reason Amazon started asking for "packaging feedback" on their box sizes LOL
