    Either way, why would anyone buy that? A battery is a battery is a battery. Theres a specific makeup of materials in a lead oxide battery that creates the 12.6 volts. These materials (metals) of the anode and cathode that cannot be interchanged. Any 12 volt battery that has 6 cells is a lead oxide battery. Whether you get it from Wal-Mart or Optima, its the same damn battery. The only difference is that you don't have to put water in an Optima, but you don't have to put water in many batteries nowadays.

    I'll spend $26 a Wal-Mart and get a battery, you go spend $150. Its all the same, cept I saved $124.

        buy an optima and you will never buy another battery for that car, in fact my current optima is on it's second car. Put one in the wife's car when her stock battery died. I never have to worry about it again. When the time comes to get rid of my car I'll likely move the battery to the next car.

          I did that with a cheap *** Duralast battery. Its STILL in my Monte Carlo after being in a Firebird AND a Ford Taurus for a short time. Nothing special. Its similar to people that buy Monster cables for your stereo system. Its a waste.
