What I wound up with Posted by adl6009 [Email] (#2526) [Profile/Gallery] (more from adl6009) on Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:26:24 In Reply to: Whats the word on Optima batteries?, adl6009 [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:42:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I tried to get the ac delco pro but there were no local retail outlets that carried it. My local saab dealer would not order me one as they claimed gm only sold the saab battery made by intersate for my car. I called my local napa parts store and he gave me a price of $107 for the 24/84 select. I went to the store and at the counter he tells me that since its for a saab its called international. I asked of it had the same warranty and he says yes. I said OK here's my card lets do it. He puts it by the back door and bills me. When I actually pick up the battery it says 18/75 international. Meaning 18 mos free replacement 75 mos pro rata. This tends to piss me off because 5 minutes ago it ways what I came in for but now its not. When I called it was what I was looking for but now its not. Unfortunatly I was pressed for time at this point and choose not to return the item. I figured I would get online here and blow off some steam and let my friends know what happened at my local napa jobber.
When I install it I find the new battery also did not have a vent to plug the vent hose into, is this a big deal??
