Duracell Procell vs

I Googled Continental and only found one 6 volt Continental. Mind you, this was not an exhaustive search, but the only one I found is 225 amp-hours:

great idea, he seems deadset to sell the trojans, thanks for the google, I saw that but didnt have the info. Waiting on a call back now

If he's a big dealer, this is prolly a non-issue, but check the dates on whatever you end up buying. If you save a couple of bucks, but buy batteries that have been sitting in his shop for six months, it may not be as good a bargain.

FWIW,
If you do a Google search on batteries' specs, it's the 20 hour rating that most of us refer to.

thanks yurtle, he just opened the place not too long ago, but says he cant keep them in stock, so I need to call him a week in advance.

I may have to drop in on him this weekend, just to see what he's talking about. Trojan and continental are the only batteries he carries

If you're not in a rush, ask what he can special order. We had a post a while back that said they could only special order a pallet, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Also, you might look around nearby cities. It may be worth a 1 hour drive if you can either get a better battery or a better deal.
