There are only about three automotive battery manufacturers in the US: East Penn/Deka, Johnson Controls and Exide.
East Penn/Deka supplies the Walmart Ever-Start batteries in the Northeast, they have a huge plant in Penn. and build the best fully sealed non- maintenance batteries in my opinion...
I just changed out an East Penn made Sears Diehard silver that lasted over 7 years.
Replaced it with an East Penn made Walmart Ever-start Value for $69.
Batteries don't last long in high heat areas like Texas.
I know but you'd be amazed how many don't seem to mind living in an ice palace. Some indians bought a house nearby and changed out every single bulb in the place to blue light LED's.
Before LED's they used to screw bare bulb florescent strip light fixtures to the walls of their apartments.
Dave, I've seen incandescent chandelier bulbs at my local Dollar General, 40 watts as I recall.
Driving around this time of year one can see the hideous LED lighting in (and outside) people's homes, blinding white light turned up to max power or cold blue/gray. Ugh. Not every house but a lot.
Often these bulbs don't like dimming
They also only dim down to about 10% with a grayish cast to the light.
I don't understand how people can live with their kitchens and bedrooms lit up like an operating room.
all the ugly color deviations of LEDs.
Driving around my area at night I'd say half the homes and most apartments are running cold blue LED lights indoors.
Not to mention the homes lit up like a night game at Yankee stadium from dusk to dawn.
they started at $500 and dropped to $300
I doubt they're going to get $300.
Make an offer and see what happens. Usually works better if you're there in person and ready haul it away.
I would lose my shit if that happened!
Yeah, I 'm still in state of disbelief.
Then I went to to use the e-mail account through my cable provider Optimum that I've also had for 20 years and find out they deleted it because I hadn't used it in a year or so and they don't offer new email...
Yahoo permanently locked me out of my e-mail account that I've had for over 20 years.
Not because I forgot my password or anything. I hadn't signed for about a month and suddenly couldn't get into my account and my recovery email address was no longer accessible.
20+ years of email archives gone.
Finally gave up on modern sheet sets after one fitted sheet ripped right down the center after 6 months or so.
Now I use vintage muslin and switch to percale in the summer. They're not indestructible one muslin fitted sheet was retired after getting threadbare with some small holes but it...
I don't want to start disassembling things
You might have to find out for sure what parts you need or don't need.
At least have new clamps on hand so it can be patched back together.
