Please post a link to it?
Is it an AGM battery?
Have you compared it to the 6v Pertronix battery? ooops, no such thing

I was visiting my grand daughter and got distracted/mixed-up. Pertronix 6v ignitionOptima 6v AGM batteryThey often go on-sale in early winter, If I see the sale, I'll post info here. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 | Optimas are pretty pricey, that's why I was hoping someone had experience w/Duracell. 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.

I'm leery because seller just joined eBay and has no feedback yet. 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

Most likely, you cannot wait for the sale. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 |
