These are the specs for the sams batteries StowAway STGC2 (Mfg. by Exide for Sams Clubs - equivilalent to Exide E3600) 390Min @25Amps, 110 Min @75Amps, 186Ah @20Amps, 62 Lbs The online autozone site lists their batteries as 190AH. They very well could be the sams battery. The 44lbs that the online rep quoted has to be wrong. > > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:26:28 -0500 (EST) > From: Reo43 aol com > To: elec-trak cosmos phy tufts edu > Subject: Re: (ET) Deal on Batteries > Message-ID: <35f0d 3e994916 3a9d0a93 aol com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > FYI: > I am looking for a good buy on batteries, and I stopped at the Sam's Club > in Fort Wayne yesterday.

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.
