Dave,
If you have a NAPA in your area check them out for price on the dual 6's. I
purchased my last batteries from them in either 93 or 94 and they were 60
month batteries and they still function well (not as well in the cold of
winter as they once did though). If economics is a consideration convert to
a group 26 battery. I know I will when the dual 6's I have give up the
ghost.
Safety Fast!
