Skip: I purchased three Blue Top SC34DM Optimas at Sam's Club for $155.82 each plus tax = $171.40 each. These are dated by a letter E and number 9 which is May 2009, according to the person who waited on me at Sam's. That means they were manufactured in May of 2009. Best price I have found.
Thanks for the info, but the 34 is the lowest priced blue top and is not what I am buying. You can even buy that battery direct from Optima for $169.99 and at batteries are us it's $143.95.
Well these guys have really got under my skin again and probably will not do business with them again.
Just want everyone to knoe it took a month, but my batteries came today and I saved over $100 so I guess it was worth the wait since I am not fishing in this horrible heat.
Looks like we are finally going to get a little relief with lower temps soon and I am sure looking forward to days where the high is below 95 and more like 92 instead of the 100+ we have been having.
Anyone that ordered you just need to keep on them with calls and email every once in a while. I am not patient enough to not gripe when it's not as fast as it should be.
DudLee is the owner and you tell him Scott from Omaha syas to ship these faster and keep his customers or lose em. he ain't the only one selling Optimas.
My D31 is on its 7th year as a trolling battery. And that includes a year that it sat unused which is the worst thing you can do to a battery. It will still hold its charge all day even in constant use in windy conditions. It is definitely worth the bucks. The good thing is when you pay that much for a battery you tend to take care of it a lil better and keep it charged!
I went to auto zone to buy an Optima just for my trolling motor and they sold me a yellow top D34-78. Is this the battery I need or do I need a blue top? I don't need one for the motor cause it's a pull crank type. I tried the web site but still can't figure it out.
