Optima battery

#1 Post by Paul Sowa »

Does anyone know if Mick at Chatham Motorsports still sells Optima batteries? Current # on site doesn't work and there is no email.
Than you, Paul Sowa

I Googled Chatham Motorsports and came up with them in Virginia. No website but Facebook page, Yelp, etc.

Depending upon where you are located, O'Reilly's can order one for you. I just got mine from them.

Apparently there had been a problem with the 6 volt production, but he has been told they are turning out batteries again. Above phone and email are good.

Right now, 6 volt Optimas are available from Amazon (where I got mine--free shipping with Prime) for $187.99 and Sears for just $156.16, assuming Sears will be in business long enough to ship it.
