Subject:Group 41 Battery? As house battery, under Driver Seat?
From:Richard Koerner
Date:Tue, 4 Feb 2020 02:40:01 +0000

Group 41 from Walmart works just fine in under Driver Seat.  As a House Battery.  For Moderate usage.  It's been about 6 or 7 years....shoot....not even sure if available anymore, but I need some input from you guys.  Mine is working just fine; but I want to be prepared.  Are these things even available anymore?  I know technology is changing; and the battery makers shut down stuff that is not selling any more.  If not at local Walmart....where else?  I'm sure there must be sources of these Group 41 batteries.  Honestly...I haven't done internet investigation...I am not trying to shortcut the investigation process, but at the same time I want everybody on this List to be informed of diligently gleaned resources for a solid House Battery at a reasonable cost.  Or something like that.
