Just bought a new Bosch battery from Pep boys and with the current rebate, it was around $100.

$20 rebate before the 31st.

I'll check it out.

Also, I went to Costco today and they don't carry a group 40 or 41 battery, but wow did they have great warranties.

Well, I called around. Pep boys wanted 160 + core for the Bosch. Umm, no. I went to trusty old NAPA, from where I got the current battery. They wanted 109+ core, BUT my old battery was warranteed for 75 months, of which I had only used 47. So I got the new battery for 75 bucks, out the door. They have always been a really good store. So it's all good...not to mention close by.

Thanks for all the input.
