Optima Batteries....which one?

I'm looking at the Lifeline GPL-31T as my second battery. I just need to confirm the measurements.

Already have an Odyssey no? Why the brand switch?

The Odyssey is my starting battery. Combines CCA's and moderate amp hours too. I feel the Odyssey is very high quality and will continue to use it as my starting battery.

I'm looking at the Lifeline as the 2nd battery to run the future needs such as fridge, lights, winch, etc. That battery should fit my second tray and provide enough amp hours.

Bryan..........

I want an Odyssey....or two.

Do you know of a local San Diego source?

So I don't have to pay freight.

Odyssey's dealer network is listed here: http://www.odysseybatteries.com/dealers/california.htm

Expedition Exchange is in Torrance. Might try them. http://www.expeditionexchange.com/contact/

Expedition Exchange is in Torrance.

Napa is listed for several cities...It seems like you should then be able to order a battery from any Napa.

I do like to support Expedition Exchange whenever possible, and if you are looking for an excuse for a fun place to visit ( :drool: )then this could be it.

San Diego retailers

Brodings Battery - LaMesa CA 619-463-9812

8188 Commercial St.
(near Dixieline)

1200 MJT $164.27
1700 MJT $207.30

Best prices in town. Great service. If they don't have it in stock you are looking at around a week or two.

If you are considering buying an Odyssey battery and have a Toyota and can wait a few weeks - wait. Trust me. I will have news shortly of a new solution I am working on with Odyssey/EnerSys.

I had just made my mind up to stop by the store on the way home tonight to order/buy a 1200 MJT and then mountainpete has to chime in and kick it up a notch! :xxrotflma

Put it this way Dave... how would you like a 1200 MJT but with the correct reversed posts for Toyotas? (Basically a 34R version)

Sorry - edit that. Make that the PC1500 version... the one up from the 1200...

That would be excellent. That, and making it nost cost $50+ to ship these things to me!

Still waiting for costing and availability reports - that's why I am being a bit light on the details. You might even be able to get it locally too... :drool:

Sounds good Pete! Availability will be a factor since I'll need it before the end of September.

I found this site a while back.

Looks like $30 shipping........and prolly no tax.

I was hoping to find a good price locally.....so in case I have a problem.....I can drive up and get it fixed.....and not ship it somewhere.
