House Batteries

Mike,

The AH rating you are quouting would be for either 4D's or 8D's. The
Lifeline 4D is rated at 210AH, the 8D is rated at 255AH. The 1992
WB40's use Group 31 batteries, at least mine does. So they are not
the group size.

If you found someplace that sells Lifeline 8D or even 4D AGM's for
$290, I would buy everyone they had at that price, low advertised
retail is around $450 on that battery.

Also, anyone looking at purchasing batteries anytime soon. I would
do it sooner than later, battery prices have had a huge increase over
the last couple months and will probably continue to do so for the
near future....

is a 180 AH, but if you can get them for $150, I would be inclined to
go there. Where you get that price???
