They're up to $120??? I bought mine at O'Reilly for $80 a few years ago...
Not sure what the going rate is, but you might look into an Optima battery. They're Miata-friendly (some kind of gel cell) with a really good warranty to boot.
Anyone have an extra agm miata battery laying around that they want to let go of cheap? Mine is dead and the thought of spending $120 w/ tax at O'reilies is making my butt pucker.......

FWIW - I think this is still the TCB champ on a new AGM Battery - http://www.staabbattery.com/category...Batteries.html
Thanks POS... Between the new house, and the new wife, my wallet needs all the TCB hints it can get.
Will be $99 shipped from them.... How reliable are they as far as quality? If the oreilies battery fails, ican take it tothem an bitch, but if a mail order battery fails i'm kinda SOL.....
I just realised why my miata batter is dead. I last drove the car May 5th.... It has been parked in the parents garage through me remodeling the new house and moving......

rick- i used to have an optima battery, and loved it. however, lately I've heard of a lot of people having problems with them......

Have you put it on a low amp charger for an extended period (24 hours+)? That may bring it back.
I put the Stabb Battery in my wife's Miata and it has done a fine job.
may have to make a trip to HF on thursday..... probably need a tricklecharger anyways.....

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The HF trickle charger did the job in 24 hours. $4.99 beats $120+ ...... hopefully the battery lasts.
Now I just need to go to TDR next week to get my top looked at......
