I use Standard Battery Supply down on Redwood Rd and about 1500 south. They are the guys that supply to Interstate, napa, parts plus. yadda yadda... they have all batteries beginning with cheapo stuff all the way up to the yellow and red top Optimas in both wet cell and AGM type batteries. for my boat i use gel-cell (AGM) they are sealed dont need fluid checked or added, no messing with that "electrolyte" crap and acids. basically it is a glass matting wrapped around a "plate" and the gel is the "activator" containing the acids/elcrtolytes much better, and if they tip over, it does not matter except for the weight pulling on wires.
I like the Trojan brand when I dont want to spend top dollar on an Optima, they also will be able to service the battery for you on the warranty right then and there too... I even took a battery there I got at Jiffy Lube once and it was one of theirs so they honored the warranty. I like to use the 5 years.... and IF you get a battery from them, and it has to be warrantied on year 3....the warranty starts over for anohter 5 years, that is the way they have always treated me. the retailers are the ones that put the prorating on them for reduced cost, but still cost.
Redwood Road about 1500 south on the west side of the road.
