sandawg Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Priced out a new battery for my 06 Rhino. Some folks think they are gold instead of lead filled. Ended up at Battery Plus in Vegas and got a battery that fits perfectlly. It's only 40 cranking Amps lower that the stock battery. Paid 36.99 with a core battery against up to 140 bucks at ATV parts suppliers. check it out Quote

I don't purchase anything, regardless of the price, without thourghly checking out the product. I have also found that the premium stuff can also have "issues". My stock battery in the 06 still had a little bit of life in it but not enough for me to trust it as much and as far as I sometimes go. Others should check, as I did, prior to buying anything. This happened to have a good warantee from a National Company and like I said compared favorably to the origional battery that lasted 5 yeats. I'm not sure that "skimping" is the correct term for saving some bucks when possible. Quote
andydew Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I just bought 2 odyssey batteries for my funco. I shopped around and found them as much as 200 each, but I was able to find a distributor on ebay that let em go for 153 shipped...I thought I got a better deal, only to discover it's the same case and CCA as for a rhino. With this thread, I got to wondering... The only reason that I know of, as to needing those dry cell batteries, is that they are mounted on their side...otherwise, perhaps I spent way too much Quote
