I just replaced my starting battery with a "proper" fitting Group 41 from Canadian tire; $90 Canadian. With my 20-20 hindsight, I discovered that Costco also carries a Group 41 for about half the price ($49). also, the Costco one has an integral carrying handle. Also, optima yellow-tops are $179 Canadian at Costco. Completely off-topic, Costco now carries a 6.5hp side shaft gasoline engine for $139...looks like a Chinese knock-off honda "clone". I only mention it because the price really caught my eye... Happy belated Easter !! |
