Battery Bill's

The past 2 days, I notice my car had a longer hesatation when trying to crank over the motor. Figuring my STi is almost 5 years old, and still running it's stock battery, I was planning to buy a Optima Red Top on Saturday.

This Morning, as I got ready for work and headed to my car. I tryed to crank it over but nothing. Great.... I called some of my friends if they knew a place that carryed Optima's in stock. Afew suggested Battery Bill's in Mapunapuna next to Servco Subaru. I took my battery out, borrowed my uncles honda, threw the battery in the back and headed down there.

There service was great, they had a huge inventory for any application, and almost every brand out there, from simple to high performance. They check my battery and sure enough, it was gone. They hooked me up with a Optima Red Top and I was on my way in less than 5 mins. There Battery Warranty is great too, the red top came with a 3 year free replacement guarantee!

So if your looking to replace your battery, check out

Bought my past 3 Optima Red Tops from Battery Bills. Their prices are really good and the service is great. Plus they don't charge you a fee to take your old battery.

I was told that the Yellow Tops don't last as long as the Red Tops. I aksed the guy I bought my Red Top from which one was better & told me that he was running the Yellow Top in his car and he went through 2 of em in less than 3 years. He recommended that I get the Red Top instead. The last Red Top I had lasted me about 5 years. I guess you could say I got my money's worth out of that one.

I was told straight from Bill himself that the yellows dont last long if you run them down to dead and if you let the car sit for extended periods of time. With that said, I bought a yellow top from him because of a planned stereo that's going into my Daily.

battery bills carries every size in stock and sometimes his batteries are cheaper then going to the dealer....

if your car can take the universal post battery then go to costco but if u need special size go to bills....
