    Motobatt Source?

    Does anyone know of a vendor offering a decent deal on Motobatt batteries?
    I'm finding them in the >$90 range on ebay, for a MBTX14AU.....plus $25 to $30 shipping to Canada. I recall these were selling at around $65, not that long ago. I'm retiring a 7 year old Yuasa that refuses to die, (in the interest of safety) and wanted to give Motobatt a try. But at $120 shipped, I should probably just buy another Yuasa AGM locally (around $100) and be done with it, I'm thinking. Strangely, I have not come across a local vendor carrying the Motobatts.

      I got mine from Impact Batteries (use their Amazon price as it's cheaper than their website)

        I checked into that, thanks....they do not ship out of the U.S. Great price, though!

          Yup, $62 via Amazon, but no Int'l shipping.....$92 via their site + cost of UPS Ground shipping (+ UPS brokerage fee, I'd assume.).

            Where exactly is "God's Country". I googled it and it shows a province in India.

              Sorry, I need it shipped to Ontario Canada. Shipping to India would have been convenient years ago, but I doubt they ship out of N. America, although I understand these are Chinese made. Looks like I'll be able to pick up a Yuasa High Performance AGM (240 CCA) in Ontario for $90.....might be the best option yet. Most Yuasa batteries are now U.S.A made, apparently.

                If you had read a recent test on the Motobatt you would most likely pay the extra shipping. It outperformed all batteries it was tested with, even ones with higher CCA ratings. Had to use it to start my wife's Passat last week, no problem, it started a Trident V10 over 50 times in the test before they stopped testing, all the competition had failed before that point.
