 Just for fun, I typed in Group 41 Battery at Pep Boys.  The Bosch one.  Sure enough, they offered it for pickup at my nearby store...so they said, I guess with some transportation from some nearby distribution place or whatever.  Normal price $130.  Discounted price when you do it via online is like $100.  Good deal.  Now....an important thing to consider per Mark Drillock...just how old is this battery?  Of course you want the freshest you can find, right?  I guess you would have to go there in person to discover that; maybe if you wait until the next day after it has arrived (I think they will hold it for a few days), and call the store, and ask the guy at the counter (they put all the online purchases there right next to the checkout counter, they in my experience fumble through a few boxes and so forth to take a look) to disclose the date on the battery....yeah...that would add some confidence.

Again...I did this just for fun.  Haven't hit the BUY button yet.

 I happily used to use DieHard Golds, but they no longer make them in the
correct size (or is it that I can't find a Sear's near me anymore?), so I'm
running the Bosch from Pep Boys as well.
