I purchased an Optima Red Top 75 battery from Autoplicity and they have some of the best prices available. The item was shipped right away and they knew the inventory that was available, not like others who said there may be a 2 to 3 week shipping time frame. So far the service has been great and I look forward to continued great service.

i received item very prompt and for a great price!

Quite easy.

Awesome price!! Hopefully everything comes in quick and easy now! Still waiting on the package <br>
