Off Topic Kirkland Battery - A good deal?

[stomp]

It’s for a 2006 caravan, putting anything more expensive in it than a Kirkland battery is like getting a boob job for your grandmother.

You have a way with words @Dmanwithnoname . The Caravan is all decked out for the Christmas season; every warning light on the dash is lit.

You guys might find this channel of testing tools and stuff to be interesting, especially this battery test.

I was once told there were only a handful of battery manufacturers in North America and they just change the label dependent where it is being shipped.

Geeze... now a 2nd battery goes down in the fleet!!! This time my 2016 Highlander started doing some really strange when @Mrs. Stomp was trying to start after last night's cold. So, with the battery entering its 6th year, I figured replace the battery for "starters". This time Kirkland didn't show as having an el Cheapo lead acid battery for the Higlander, and only was showing the higher-priced Everready starting at $219. So I went to Toyotatown and they gave me 10% off for having purchased the car there... $156 plus tax... but no warranty.

And now, with a little more time, I find that there is a Kirkland 24F lead acid battery for $149... D'oh. I guess they don't show it on their mobile app cuz they can't ship it.
