Sears shows they have them, added over $50 though.

I have a 9 year old optima 6V and it just started to slow down the starting speed. I enquired at NAPA here in Michigan if they sold Interstate. They said they do not. They did find an Optima 6 volt in inventory in Detroit and I picked it up the next day. I'll post updates if it is less reliable than the super reliability I got on the last one.

Deleted this message because I determined some parts were not factual. John

That is the answer that I received also. It has me wondering where they are being made if the company says they are on "backorder".

I received the same message from Optima, just out of stock. My 39 coupe has had the same Optima for 9 years with no problems. I run two 12 volts in my 580 Case back hoe, and a 6v in my model A also. No problems with any of them, they make a good product.

Email from Optima Customer Service just now: Hello Alan, Thank you for contacting Optima Customer Service. It is currently on backorder, but I am unaware of it being discontinued. Thank you, Mary Jo Optima customer Service

A few places have Optima's left on the shelf or the back room. But you won't get an effective warranty with them. Sellers/retailers are not responsible for warranties, only manufacturers. Some sellers might make good on one they sold you but you'll get a different replacement. I'm using a deep-well Interstate (sold for RV's and boats).

I've been using Optima batteries for 11 years and the one problem I had was my own falt for not initially charging it correctly. At this time I have 5 Optima batteries. Two 12v versions in my modern cars and and 3 6v red tops for my 35 Fords. All working well.
