    Gerardo core charge is a deposit you leave until you bring back the old battery, You don't bring old battery back they keep your money. core charge.

    I was at Peterbilt this afternoon, they had group 31 battery's for $85 or so. sorry, I was not looking for battery's so I did not study the price, but it was 80 something. They have never wanted a core when I have bought them before.
    Pete dealers are everywhere if you ever need warranty.

    You would be surprised how many brands DEKA makes--they are all the same! Just different colors and stickers. They have an outlet store on site. Highest price there is $55--they are all blems--but so what no one is going to see them anyway! Right now I have a black-blue-and 2-yellows, and a red in my reefer. They are all 1000cca--I know others have said there are better ways etc. I am not disputing this at all--but replacing 4 batteries # less than $200(at the time--last year) is a hell of a deal. They are a little off the beaten path--but they ship alot out of there so you can just go buy if you are in the are. They are 1/2 way between reading and allentown pa.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] About 8 miles south of I-78 exit 40********
    Deka Road
    Lyon Station, PA 19536 USA
    Main Phone: 610-682-6361
    Customer Service: 610-682-4231
    Fax: 610-682-4781
    ***BIG NOTE--PLEASE READ!!!!
    If you enter this into GPS MAPQUEST etc---
    PA-737--(I-78 exit 40) is closed due to a bridge repair and will not reopen until late summer 2011--so if your directions send you that way it will not work--So contact Deka 1st--and get good directions--also they can give you exact hours for outlet store! Then connect you to store to see what is available at the time! They always have a dozen pallets or so of blems--but best to check first.
    Hope this helps!!
