Default Battery upgrade

Does anyone have the part # for the battery upgrade over the ETX30LA? I saw it here a whileback and can't find it. Thanks in advance. Mike

Wow the 2nd one has 600 CCA!!
That is almost twice the stock-er CCA for $128.
Pretty good deal!!
I got the Battery Mart one,(400 CCA) it was less than $100 shipped on a special and is still doing good after 3 years.
Probably change it out next year to be on the safe side.
Keeping them on a tender year round seems to extend battery life as well.

========================================

Isnt the Advance Auto battery the 400cca maint free fact act AGM version for same approx cost as the maint free fact activated 600cca agm battery i posted link for further up in this thread with free S&H to you door.

I would n0ot be surprised if the adv auto battery is mfg'd in china but dont know that for sure.

If i was going to buy the lower output 400cca maint free fact act agm battery (vs the higher perf 500cca & 600cca batteries i posted links to) i'd get the MFG'd in USA Deka or big crank /same as deka bike battery with proven quality for less $$ @ $99-$109 inc S&H to your door depending on where you buy it from vs the adv auto battery thats not mfg'd by Deka under adfv auto name or now CarQuest since they bought out autozone a while back.

For thos that care the 600cca maint free fac act AGM battery thats spec'd @ 600cca i gave link to further up in this thread is mfg in china.

Happy battery shopping!/LOL!!!

Battery mart can get the ETX30LA and sell if for below $100. You'll have to call for it, not one of their regularly stocked batteries, and it is a Chinese battery. I would like to see an independent confirmation of that 600 CCA.

Scott, thanks for those links above. Saved me 85 bux. The PA made Deka works for me. IIRC that's the OEM's battery anyway.

the advance auto one is certainly made in the USA. i just put one in my bike last week because it was available locally. not to mention the ridiculous number of discount codes available for advance and i was out the door, locally picked up same day, for that battery for about $100. Promo code "TRT41" at checkout is good for $40 off a $100 purchase.
