I called and talked to a person they searched my local Sears and one was in stock so they honored that price from on line.
Stopped and picked it up this afternoon.

Looks like I have a grp 31 Platinum going south... only a year old, my other Plat. Grp 34 has been fine for 3 years so far.

For any of these DHP/Odyssey batteries, I would insulate the battery from heat. The 80's have a heat shield, the 100's don't. The Odyssey batteries have an optional metal jacket.

From Odyssey specs:

"Operating temperature range: -40°C (-40°F) to 45°C (113°F) • -30°C (-22°F) to 40°C (104°F) for PC2250 • -40°C (-40°F) to 80°C (176°F) with metal jackets on all other sizes"
