Volks, looks like the unavailability of the group  41 Kirkland battery at
COSTCO here in Ottawa has gone obsolete.  They say  they are no longer supplying
that battery and they have no other  replacement.  This story was previously
reported on the Vanagon List but at  that time was still available here in
Ottawa.  So, looks like the good deal  of a inexpensive, 3 year, no questions
asked, warranty, battery for our  Vanagons, from COSTCO has gone away !  Another
sad day in the life of  Vanagon ownership !!

Cheers,
