RE: Battery sources in the Puget Sound area.

I just bought a 4D start battery from Dyno to replace the 2 yo chinese battery that just went TU. I am a great fan of Dyno batteries and have never had a problem. I understand that the fishing fleet is partial to Dyno as well. My current boat has a house bank of 8 Golf Carts and my previous boat had 12 GC's, all from Dyno.

Be prepared to pay big. The 4D cost me $240 including tax and that was the wholesale cost. The guy I dealt with said they are paying something like $1.17 a pound for lead. Teh 4D wieghs in at 100 lbs.
