Well I was bored today and stopped up at the local Costco and saw that they carry Optima batteries (red and blue, not yellow however) and were selling the red's for $99 a piece. Now I need to upgrade my battery and add some more batts but would it be foolish to pass up this deal(if it is one) and look at some different batteries? Radio play time with the car off is minimal so a deep cycle is not totally an issue with me. Would it be difficult to use say 3 of these batts (one starter 2 in back) in a setup or no? What does everyone think?

Yeah thats the one, and technically I think thats Shelby, but whatever. I walked in and they were right there. They only buy items they can get in bulk so I don't know if the ones they have out are all they have but there are like maybe 15 or something. I just don't know because I have to squeak an air ride setup in my trunk and dry cells may make things easier for me, but or $99 how could you go wrong, and all of 2 mins from my house.
