For anyone looking to replace a stock battery, its here.Buy AutoCraft Gold LEAD ACID AUTO BATTERY 151R at Advance Auto Parts

 

And don't forget, AAP often has "internet specials" (you order online and pick up at store) with nice discounts. So that List Price is not necessarily the Out the Door price...

(For example, as of today, 10/2/2011, you could save $20 with any online order over $100, plus get a $50 voucher on a future online purchase of $100 or more)

 

Good News
Thanks C.B.

 

Update : I called AAP to find out who makes this battery, supposedly it's Johnson Controls. Unfortunatley it doesn't seem to be in any of their warehouses as yet .

 

One of the five local AAP finally has this in stock. Currently running a 15% off deal on their site. I'm in for one. Still on the stock battery and winter is coming to Vermont.

 

Order online, pick up at store, use promo code visa 30 off $100

 

I suppose it's too late for me to really care, but is this a good thing?

I say that cause i picked mine up on Tuesday

No trouble so far. Battery had some liquid around the seams at the top. The salesman said it was normal and whipped out some battery cleaning spray and cleaned it off before installing it.

 

Just as another data point, the local Batteries Plus store sells the 151R battery for $99.
