Besides buying a new battery, is there any way to fix?...it is a red top Optima.
The battery is only 3 months old...doesn't look like I could get a tap in there due to the shallowness of the hole.
I partially blame Racetronix for the cheesy bolts they supplied with their fuel pump, but what can you do.
TIA

Well I bought it off eBay...so I would probably have to send it back to Optima directly...if possible, I'd like to fix it...maybe convert it to the top post connections

does it have top posts or only the GM style sides?

Fear of this happening is exactly what kept me from ******* with the battery at all when I did my Racetronix pump install. + to the alternator + post and I left the unnecessary ground upgrade cable in the bag.
But as far as the battery goes it is certainly still under warranty as Waiting said, though I doubt that covers stripped bolt holes. Take it to a local AZ, Kragen, Pep Boys, whatever is around and see if they can help you out. If they can Im sure they would have no problem ordering it for you.

Ya my Optima has both sides & posts

then i'd just cut off the GM side posts and go buy some top post connections. its an easy job.
