Batteryweb (www.batteryweb.com) is selling the Optima D750U (that's the one
with the side terminals) for $104.67 (incl. 5% web discount).  I ordered one
last week and it arrived today.  For the distance between Florida and
California, that's pretty fast service, I think.  Shipping was $30 so the
total price for me was $134.67, not bad.  If you live closer to Florida,
shipping is probably less for such a heavy package (40 lbs.).  Their
shipping person put the shipping label on the wrong side of the box though.
It was shipped with the top terminals facing down.  The terminals punched
holes through the packaging and the terminal caps were destroyed.  I
requested new caps, we'll see if I'm going to get some.  Otherwise the
battery looks great!  If you order from them please remind them to pack the
battery properly.

Cheers,
Peter
