Plenty of cheaper options around I could have been buying and selling for the same price.
One would hazard guess SCA is buying them cheaper, they'd have contract prices given their national volume.
Once you've decided on a battery brand its also worth checking their distributor list on their website, you'll probably find your local auto electrical workshop may be a distributor and they will sell it to you cheaper than the big parts resellers, they'll probably even fit it too 
You're also supporting a local family owned business rather than some corporate group.
SCA lists $250 for a 67EF MF - highway robbery. |
Agree with all of that, I paid the $250 thinking I am getting the best money can buy in a sense. But clearly that is not the case.
