And mark the fact that I have checked perhaps two dozen made in Mexico sold in Mexico batteries and none of them were as heavy as their premium made north of the border cousins.
My 34 is several pounds heavier, a group 65 is 6 pounds heavier and each GC220 3 cell is four pounds heavier and as far as wet batteries are concerned you do not get a choice - one BCI group size, one weight.
The Exide has a handle on it. At Costco I hefted it and there was no question it was significantly heavier than the LTH I checked and the Gohner I owned. And for similar dollar price.
One thing I like about a battery sold in Costco. No warranty hassles. Wal-Mart has given me nothing but chicken-**** static about tires and batteries and now the store is limited to selling me bed sheets, underwear and household items.
Having NOT lived in the USA for so many years I can asssssume that the 42 month replacement warranty is good at any USA Interstate battery vendor?
When I was contracted to a large battery warehouse in the USA I encouraged the vendor to use a hook, 36 months of free replacement for group 24 and 27 LTH Mexican batteries. He sold them like hotcakes and I simply do not remember him warrantying a single battery.
Oh, last shopping trip I found a 2019 expiration date on a bag of rock salt.
