Hey Baron,
Thanks for the comments regarding Chris' and myself's post. I will post a follow-up in a few.
As for batteries, my Optima is going strong, and I still see some available, although the price has gone up since I got my great deal locally ($90). Size is correct at 34R. I would suggest that popular auction site as I was looking and found them for around $170US BIN. And there is a promotion going on with live.com search that returns 25% in 60 days. Not sure if it applies to Canada as well.
If not, I don't know of many other options, as I replaced my 97 900's with an Optima with no problems in 3 years (until now, but looks not to be battery-related), and transferred it over to my 99 9-3's with no issue (again, until now, but doesn't seem to be battery).
The other options I have read since searching seems to be there is only around 3 or 4 companies that actually make the batteries, and the rest are relabels of them. So then it comes down to price and warranty versus convenience.
Probably not much help, but good luck. Let me know how you make out. I am in Buffalo, and my best man is moving from here back to Oakville, since he (and his wife) works there (now working out of home).
Sean
