The last battery box I bought for an Optima was almost $100, which I thought was excessive. And, it was not script. It was the only game in town, so I bought one. Except for the script part, it worked well.

Later, I was at the local FLAPS, and there was a Ford script battery sitting on the floor, next to the counter. I asked the guys about it, and they said it was a trade-in and that I could have it if I paid the battery core charge. I bought it for $8.00 and was going to take it back to my shop and gut it, but when I got there and measured it, it was almost 2 inches too short. It's still sitting in the corner of my shop.
