Pretty hard to find old/non-nonworking batteries these day, especially an optima.  The core values are just to high.  I also must ask what you going to do with it?

Warranty it out for a new one so I don't have to pay $200for a new one and put it in the battery killer aka my chevy colorado. Killed 3 batteries in the past 12 months.

eeeek, those cell batteries are pricey to be killing them like that.  i've only known one person that did that with his boat.  he was using the wrong kind of charger (trickle) and ruining them.  maybe your alternator is doing this?  what say ye Budp, your the battery expert.

You should be able to find that battery off the internet for under $150. It sounds to me like you should consider adding a second alternator or down-sizing the boom-boom a little!
