Have you compared it to the 6v Pertronix battery? ooops, no such thing Last edited by tclederman; 10/06/2017 10:56 AM.

Got a NAPA 7244 in her now, just over 4 years old and good service so far but...Saw an Optima for $125 last week, same site today $175. But will keep my eyes open. Ed

I recently purchased an Optima for $110 and seller (not on eBay) promptly went out of business. Got my money back but... I'll just keep my eye out since no one as yet has had any feedback on the Duracell. Thanks Ed

Most likely, you cannot wait for the sale.
