Most likely my route based on price and warranty. But I’ll check out x2 as well

$300 for two batteries before core discount sounds pretty good to me!

I will tell you a cannot stand shopping at places like Cosco and Walmart. But man those prices and warranty are worth sifting through the crowds. I had no idea those Dodge trucks had such huge batteries.

Costco batteries are usually (every Costco I've been to) sold in the automotive section. Many times they have a separate entrance. Go during the week and get there 5 or 10 minutes before they open, and You will likely be first in line. You should get in and out very quickly by doing that.

You ain’t kidding! Almost triple the price of the Costco ones listed above. But 900+ CCA is nice.

1030 cranking Amps to be exact.

$300 each though is a big pill to swallow, but like I said, the warranty already more than covered the initial price.

In fact my warranty runs out in November, so I’m going to check the other battery in October to see if the Cranking Amps drop to possibly get another new replacement. $600 for 10yrs+ of batteries isn’t all that bad if you view it that way.

Here in GA battery life averages around 4 years with the big hot and cold swings. So I figured the price was worth a shot.

I’m with you I hate the crowd, my wife and I discovered our local Costco has no lines and is pretty vacant on friday nights, find what time yours is least busy and go then... every Costco and Walmart has a slow time.

I feel you, but I’m with the one hour before closing crew. Basically no lines, and I can get all the stuff I want and be out pretty darn quick. As well, at the one by my house, for tires and batteries, it’s a different entrance with its own line.

Ours has slow times. I'm a senior and Costco in San Diego opens at 9:00 am for an hour. Lightweight crowd. In the afternoon between 1:00 and 3:30 pm is pretty light. I usually park by the tire shop and go in an whiff rubber for a few seconds before i go in. It pacificies me for the experience.

Odyssey PC-2150 is 100Ah, if you can fit G31

Dual use for genuine deep cycling as well

one of the very few that actually delivers on that claim

99.99% of the market fraudulently labeled, in big box and automotive retail.

Yes pricey

Think about it, but I just regeared, and that was $3k, so I might go Costco for now.,

Went with Costco, just walked in and bought it, no line whatsoever. $300 out the door for two batteries with a great warranty. I’ll take it.
