The Costco batteries here are relabeled Johnson Controls. Same exact
battery as Wal-Mart. Often on sale $39 there.

Subject: Starting Battery (Canada)

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 !!
