Hi, I have a 2003 superduty with the 7.3. I put 2 new red top optima batteries in two years ago. I had been through 4 sets of batteries of different types since it was new before the Optimas. I LOVE these batteries. My truck sits for long periods as it is not my everyday driver any more. I did find two things that were draining power, my brake controller, and my radio. I take the brake controller out and keep it in the console now, and the radio is an aftermarket one which does not turn off with the key like I thought it did. I have to turn it off with the power button and then turn the key off.
Also, these batteries have both top and side terminals for both positive and negative. I added two new negative cables to the side connection points. One, I connected to the motor and the other to the body. No problems ever getting it started. Great batteries. Well worth the money.

Most online retailers negotiate substantial discounts on shipping rates with the major carriers. Many agree to only use one carrier or limit the use of alternate carriers. These discounts can be 50-70% off the published rates. They can then pass on the savings to the consumer with lower prices or charge us the full published rate (easy built in profit).

The AMazon prime looks promising. Normally shipping is a killer.

Well data is data and have been in this part of the industry in our business for over 32 years now. Sorry and accept my apology for the incorrect assumptions but this is the one well need 2 that will go in my 2018 this spring. For me cost is irrelevant because of where I have to go and the hours I am on the road or at the very rural area or our ranch. Temperatures for me there vary from single digits to 120 with 70mph winds in far SE NM and in rough conditions so I cannot afford a shorted out cell due to acid stratification, sulfation issues.

I am 95% positive batteries typically get delivered to retailers (or retailers nearby distribution centers) via wood pallets and wrapped and secured to protect them, 20+ at a time.
It would be helpful for those considering ordering from amazon or another online retailer to see pictures of how the batteries were packaged when delivered one or two at a time to someone’s front door. I’m guessing they are not on a wood pallet waiting for a fork lift.
