Seems like a reasonable price for this battery.

That is cheap... but shipping will be 20-30$ and you could have bought it local. I buy them for just over a 110$'s.

They have added a few new batteries... cool.

I went down to my local VW shop and haggled with them about the price and ended up walking out with a red top for around $98 after taxes. Beats the hell out of waiting for one I think. And prolly close to the same price. On the other side of this . . . I LOVE IT!!! Best battery I have ever used, and NO MORE ACID!!!

I've seen Champion batteries with the same 6 cylinder look that have "spillproof" molded into the case for about the same price ($90-100). Anybody know anything about these? Are they just as good?

ask them if you can turn them upside down.

Red tops are $200 at Part Source (Canadian tire) My wife checked at Cosco $160. just a tad cheaper!

Is there a certain group number (size) ?
