I remember way back in the old days when I was a kid going to this guy who 
basically had a portable building right on the side of rt 66. We always went 
there for batteries and he has batteries all over the ground outside and that 
building was full of batteries. I think he rebuilt them there and sold them.

Around here, battery prices are the same, but a lot of other stuff 
isn't.

Couple years ago I found a tolerable price on DVD-Rs.
Went in town to buy them and the shelf price was not so tolerable.
Took it to a price check scanner and it was going for shelf price.
A nice young fellow in the electronics department scanned it with his 
phone, looked up the web price, and price-matched the Wal-Mart web site 
for me. Subsequent visits convinced me that particular blue haired guy 
with a nose ring was the only helpful person in Electonics.

It's under the hood, so it doesn't need to be AGM?

I'd still consider paying extra for AGM, ever see a 123 with rust around

 Which reminds me, we need to start shopping for batteries for the Pisten 
Bully, the ones in it (well for it, they're in my garage) are 6 years old. When 
I put them on the charger Wednesday afternoon they took 4a, 24 hours later 
they're "done". I should have had them on the desulfator all summer, if they 
recover enough to get us through this season I probably will.
I did put each of the ASV batteries on the desfulfator for a month. I dunno if 
it helps, they're only like 3 years old.
The PITA thing with the PB is that its a 24v system, more difficult to jump 
start. Fortunately it usually starts easy.

It's a German Varta.  Does anybody still sell these?  Any other

My OEM battery is finally fading out after 7 years of use and 138K miles.
It's a German Varta.  Does anybody still sell these?  Any other
recommendations?  The replacement dealership Mercedes battery costs $235
and has a 2 year warranty.
