Good price. I think I paid around $225 for mine.
Hmmmm... Maybe now is the time to go dual batteries ?

reevesci you went with a Group 65, correct? I know the dimensions are slightly different than the Group 34 that Greg is using. Did you have any issues getting it into the original battery location?
I only ask as Mama asked if I needed a new battery after the alignment shop drained my battery. :whoops: I see an opportunity for new gear that for once isn't my idea!
Thank you for the heads up on this Greg.

Thanks Greg. I hope it is a 65 vice 64 because I have one waiting for me at Sears!
No apologies required. Thanks again for the heads up.

Yup, but note that this is the online sale only. I made the mistake of driving up to get a refund for the difference today only to have the guy tell me that the website and instore prices are completely different and do not price match one another. Oh well, no bigs as it is still a great battery and worth the cost.
F-ing scumbags! I bought one for my yaris, last week for $197. I thought that was the big sale!

I seem to be somewhat in the dark here, what's the deal with the DieHard Platinums? I don't think I've ever paid more than $70 for a battery. Are they really worth the added cost?
I'll tell you in 8 years.
As batteries go, there as good ass it gets. Enersys mil spec, more power, better in hot/cold. and four year replacement followed by another 4 years of pro rated.
They are a grey odyssey battery, for a $100. less money.
I have the time. Funny thing is, I brought it a printout of the online price of $197. and they gave me that price. So maybe they will match it as well.
Lated.... I'm with you. Doesn't $85 for mine and its great. What's with the $200 give or take battery?

Srf,
The 27 I had in there is the largest battery you can wedge in the factory tray, IIRC.
My old 27 was 12.75"(L) x 6.875"(W) x 8.875"(H) 750 CCA
My new 65s are 11.8"(L) x 7.2"(W) x 7.4"(H) 930 CCA
Greg's 34 is 10.9" (L) X 6.8" (W) X 7.8" (H) 850 CCA
You don't necessarily need a height spacer for the 65.. It's about 1/2" to short for the stock tray set up, but you can get the clamp to tighten down snug without a spacer.

Thank you for the info!
