I think this thread has got me thinking Oddessy but just out of curiousity, did you happen to notice the price?

And in true Costco style, do you have to buy them in a 10 pack? j/k LOL

 

[2Greys]

I mentioned above, supposedly the Costco ones are not the same as what you get elsewhere. They are made specifically for Costco. JeepForum had a long thread about the Yellowtops and people were saying that they found they didn't last as long if they were bought there. From what I recall most said that if you did winching at all you would be lucky to get two years out of them

But Bill's truck does weigh 23,456 lbs... :flipoff:

22,876 lbs...it's got no engine or drivetrain!!

Go Odyssey, pay twice as much, last 10 years, and will never let you down. My pair have been sitting outside unused since October and show full voltage. And they don;t sponsor me - they're just the only battery to last more than a year in my rig

(all that winching Adrian back over onto his wheels is hard!) :flipoff:

 

[aweber]

HEHE, If I remember correctly, I had to winch you over more times in one day that you have ever had to winch me over in 3 years :flipoff::beer:

Mind you, this year all that will change, assuming I have my truck back together :lmao::lmao:

I think that's the way I'm going.

Did you get yours locally? If so where and how much $$$?

 

[2Greys]

I think Total Battery quoted me $320 this past summer. That was why I went with the Optima.

Total Battery.

i got one on sale for not much over $200 (should have bough 6 at that price)

the other was over $300.

Entirely possible.

Hey - with all the aggressive RFC builds going on, if the schedules slip, imagine how much beer drinking we can get in if all we do is build all summer and camp / watch others break / drink.

hey - I'm starting to sound like a sasquatch :stir::lmao:

Entirelly IMpossuible

 

[2Greys]

When did you get it at that price? Wonder why the huge price jump.

Dollar and old stock can do weird things to prices.

 

[2Greys]

But a hundred dollar jump? That's quite a fluctuation. Plus when I was quoted it, the dollar was at par

Last March I think.

All I know, they said it was on sale.

When i went back during summer for the second - prce had jumped. They couldn;t give an explanation and couldn;t say if / when there would be a sale again. I bought it anyway because of its superiority.
