Go to Sam's and get the Champion version for less money, (about $90).

I know all about the optimas, I run them in my streetrod and classic cars. I
would like to put one in my truck but with wife version 1.0 there must be a
glitch. She has no problem with the battery for the cars but for the truck
she has a case of sticker shock. One day I may upgrade to version 2.0 and it
hipefully won't have that glitch.... ;-)
