Re: (ET) Deal on Batteries

I did an on-line chat with advanced to get some specs on their battery. Only 44 lbs of lead. They didn’t quote amp hours, but with the lower weight, I don’t think the batts aren’t 220ah.

Thank you for choosing Advance Auto Parts. A representative will be with you shortly. Thank you for holding.

OK had to post this -

Advance auto sells a GC2 battery. Go online, add it to your cart. Then apply code "P20". Then apply code "BIG35". $69!!!! The price includes a $12 core. So if you have cores, you could be out the door for $57 each. This does not seem to work with 6 batteries, just one at a time. So you would have to place 6 separate orders to get the full discount.

Has anyone ever used these before?
