Subject: Re: Optima battery for $129? The right one?
No, feel no shame, for the man specifically told me that the Optima did not
have enough amps for his RV that he was trying to run tv,s, etc.off of. If
it was worth $5 to him......who am i to complain. He wanted a new battery,
and not an Optima.
I find it amazing the amount of the self-righteous out there that seem to
feel I "screwed" someone.
