How much for the batteries I'm interested would possibly be worth me paying for shipping if you're interested in shipping them two of my G 31 mysteriously came up missing from the friend I bought them from House but he gave me the money back so I didn't lose anything still think he was broke and sold them out from under me whatever though
I hope you're joking... from phx to where?.. these things seem sorta heavy... have you made inquiries locally?.. these were $60 ea refurbished from a local supplier and worked fine... still do matter of fact... there were 8-10 available at the time IIRC and I believe they were from a battery bank somewhere that was replaced as routine maintenance... where are you located?.. I wonder what's located near to you that would offer the same opportunity.?

I used to get blemished and refurbished from Interstate Batteries but here lately it has been extremely rare for them to have group 31 AGM and even when they did they still wanted 100 + / battery I've looked a decent amount and the best price I found was through Sam's Club at 178 / battery with core without core it's 200 a pop and they only have a 18-month warranty the link you posted wouldn't work for me going to try to search it manually and see if I can figure it out Monday I'm going to call around again and see if I can't find something similar to what you found I know there has to be somebody somewhere in Indianapolis but I'm just not having any luck finding them would be like a dream come true to find them for 50 bucks like you did
I found mine sitting in a little battery shop that advertised $50 group 31 AGM's on C/L of all places... lol... I got there and they had a buncha old various Agm's and lead-acids on pallets everywhere and 8-10 of these sitting aside on a toolcart looking much cleaner than the rest... they load tested them in my presence and had 3 styles of posts to pick from... in Indy you'll be able to find a deal as good I'm sure... hows the build going?
Slowly but surely you know how it goes this pesky little thing called life keeps slowing me down but the box is all but finished just got a touch up a few more screw holes then it'll be ready for paint and Rhino Lining thought I'd be able to finish it this weekend but a brake line blew out on my truck thought I'd be able to get it patched up pretty quick and easy but two wrong brake lines later and it still isn't done and now we need a wheel cylinder too and I got called into work tomorrow so probably won't get much done this weekend next weekend though I'm hoping to pull the truck in the garage and really get things going
Been there for two years in my current car and two more years in the previous.
In some vehicles I could see where temps could be an issue but not for my battery placement.

Costco near me has tons of new Interstate batteries. Got a new one for 80 bucks...cheaper than auto parts stores. About to buy another soon.

Yes, they sell Exide. i went to a local battery outlet and told him what i was doing, and he strongly suggested i stay away from Exide. they have more failures then optima since they went to mexico, **** poor QC he said.. Any how, the exide i had died in 1 yr. just wouldnt hold a charge anymore. That said, battery outlet dude was right. Bought a duracell g34 from sams for $129 on sale. great battery.
Excide is one of the few companies that makes batteries a lot of brands are made by them with a different label
