Maybe that is Canadian dollars you are seeing.

Yes it was, but now its down to $314.00

If you guys are looking at Delco batteries, be sure to get the proper quality series.

I saw the price go up. Just another reason I should have kept my black '92 Z!

I planned on getting one for the '93 but with shipping and handling it's pushing over $350 and that's out of my range for a battery.

Forgive me, Karl. But, this is such an old thread, and why is it you want to pay $350 for an AC Delco battery??? (NCRS points or the like is the ONLY jsutification (?) for one of them. Good ol' Wally World (Gold series) battery - WORK GOOD LAST A LOOOOOONG TIME! (Did I mention inexpensive???)

Both of mine are on tenders. Some prefer battery switches - but I doan wanna go down that rabbit hole again (right now!). But, in any case I'm as to why you're aching to spend $350 for a danged ol' lead-acid battery, prolly made by the same company (Johnson Controls) that makes most of the domestic batteries.

Paul it is for the Odyssee battery. I am using my cell phone and meant to say I'm not paying that much for a battery.

The battery in the '93 is on a battery tender also. So far so good but I have no idea how old the battery is.

(L) denotes left side terminal.

Find a coupon code, great battery, all three of my C4's have this battery. One is relocated to rear compartment and fits neatly. Better performance & and less weight.
GM terminal adapters are from Stinger, order two.20180331_123946.jpg

Is that a 330cca battery in your car?

I have a battery relocation kit (not installed yet) and really do not need the side mount battery which seems to cost more.

Cold Cranking 330
Pulse Hot Cranking 900 (5 seconds)

The AGM is low internal resistance by design, so it will deliver whatever demand (starter) at a higher amperage, than even a larger battery of flooded cell type.

I happen to have an Odyssey battery in everything I own (11 batteries currently), startups are much quicker. Battery longevity of 8-10 years, with more reliable performance throughout.

ODYSSEY batteries are made by Enersys...not Johnson Controls. The Odyssey brand was formerly HAWKER a military spec.

Default Which battery do you have?

I have been running the Odyssey 75-PC1230 exact fit for a few years now and very pleased.

760 CCA, 815 MCA, 1050 HCA
1230 Cranking Amps for 5 Seconds
110 Minute Reserve Capacity
Cycle life @ 77° F 400 at 100% DOD
-40° F to 140° F Temperature Range

I also put Odyssey batteries in the Mercedes and Audi daily drivers, and will change out the Harley original battery with an Odyssey next year. I’m sold on Odyssey!!
