I'm unsure of the price but it should be around that.
But yeah, you can get one there that will have a 2 or 3 year warrinty on it.
Just get it replaced free if it doesn't last.

These coming winter months will test our batteries and we'll find out where we really stand.

I'm a pretty big fan of the Duralast Gold from Autozone. 3yr free replacement, then 5yr pro-rated. It's a deeper cycle battery as well. They are around 90.00

I've had yellow tops before and I think they are way over priced. If you look at the optima model for the lancer compared to the Duralast Gold, the specs are almost identical, including reserve capacity. I don't feel the need to pay 100.00 more for a Gel Cell battery.
