Re: (ET) Deal on Batteries

I just chatted on the web with Advance Auto Parts and got the following information for the Autocraft GC2:

375ah@25Amps

100Ah@75Amps

And that they are made by Johnson controls.

I cannot believe these numbers.

Subject: Re: (ET) Deal on Batteries

The Sam's Club battery price is after giving you $10 for each core (for members. otherwise add 15%). They're made by Johnson Controls. I'm close to buying a set, but the Advance Auto deal is of course worth looking into to save 90 bucks. Are they 220 ah also, or does GC2 define that? Has anyone figured out how to order 6 at once on line?

FYI:

I am looking for a good buy on batteries, and I stopped at the Sam's Club in Fort Wayne yesterday. They had Energizer GC2 220ah batteries for $72.63. I don't know what their core charge is, or whether it was included in the price.

That Advance Auto deal that David mentioned below is a good deal, but I hate using secret codes - I like a straight-up price with no gimmicks. Anyone know of a better deal in this area within 100 miles (NE Indiana-lower Michigan)?

I recently checked at a local alt-energy store and they quoted $145 for the Trojan T105 battery.

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?
