Re: [AFMUG] Where do you buy AGM batteries
Actually, it was Energizer batteries at Sam's club (they are actually Johnson Controls batteries). The exact same AGM battery is also now sold at AutoZone (branded Autozone). It is about $20-30 more per battery though. On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 9:14 PM, Mike Hammett af...@ics-il.net wrote: I think we're spoiled with how responsible ComEd generally is.

We use the Exide RF31D. AGM and Threaded Studs on Top. Exide has a local warehouse to us, so we pickup on Willcall, but Amazon has them for $220 w/ Prime shipping.

Re: [AFMUG] Where do you buy AGM batteries
We have generally gotten ours through SunWize. Their prices are usually as good as anywhere else, and they can get them shipped to you in a couple of days (at least here on the west coast). You need to get a dealer account with them, and the minimum order is $500, but our battery orders always go well above that level. We've typically gotten Concorde SunXtender batteries, but SunWize carries at least a couple different brands. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 4/14/2015 10:58 AM, Adam Moffett wrote: Somebody here recently suggested the Duracell AGM batteries at Sam's clubthey are a good deal, but they aren't always in stock when I need them.

+1. I think the smallest we have anywhere is 100ah. Most are in the 200-300 ah range. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 4/14/2015 7:39 PM, Josh Reynolds wrote: 100aH is small for us :P On April 14, 2015 6:24:33 PM AKDT, Ken Hohhof af...@kwisp.com wrote: What size are you looking for?

Re: [AFMUG] Where do you buy AGM batteries
I might have to sign up. We have generally gotten ours through SunWize. Their prices are usually as good as anywhere else, and they can get them shipped to you in a couple of days (at least here on the west coast). You need to get a dealer account with them, and the minimum order is $500, but our battery orders always go well above that level. We've typically gotten Concorde SunXtender batteries, but SunWize carries at least a couple different brands. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 4/14/2015 10:58 AM, Adam Moffett wrote: Somebody here recently suggested the Duracell AGM batteries at Sam's clubthey are a good deal, but they aren't always in stock when I need them.
