Went 8D battery shopping today, Was surprised to find that Sam's Club stocks 2 versions of the 8D battery. They are discontinuing the Energizer brand of wet cell battery, not a deep cycle battery. They are selling existing stock for 120.00 each. The ones I saw at the local Sams were 6 months old. Made in Mexico. 1 year exchange
The new stock are Duracell , not deep cycle, less than 30 days old, wet cell. The adverting shows a sealed battery, but not true, they have caps. This battery is made in Pennsylvania. It is made by East Penn Manufacturing, the same company that producs the NAPA and DEKA batteries. 189.00 each. 1 year exchange.
Any thoughts on the East Penn Manufacturing batteries for chasis batteries? These batteries are too heavy for me to experiment with the made in Mexico Energizers.
