I would like to order this tonight , but it will be ordered online ... my local stores don't carry this model. It would be a bummer to get it and have to send it back, or be stuck with it.

Thanks ---
I'd certainly consider the Odyssey over the Optima or at-least do a "local buy" because you likely WILL need service. A battery is one item that does NOT fit the "ON LINE" order thought process. You have absolutely no control over what you receive in regards to age. Bought local you can check date codes, fit etc first. The Optima have known issues BUT battery life is very much about maintenance. The + top post on the Optima is a known issue for the C4 Corvette but I thought I had read of maybe a "new" fit by them. Do you have a part #.

I'd consider the Sears Platinum if I were interested in a "Premium" battery.

Limit your shopping to a battery of a group 75 spec.

The left fender needs removed and here's a video:
