Looking for Canadian Supplier of SLA Batteries

I guess they need it for all those toys they're painting and selling to Mattel.

Because the regular price for Genisys/Yuasa is now like 20 bucks! I used to pay 11.25 a month or two ago...and couple of bucks less for the cheapos.

Nope the Ultratech went way up too.

He hasn't drop shipped one in a good long time. Business must be slooowwww. js

I bought 4 cases on sale today, and renegotiated an on-going price with "them" today. Told my rep. I'd just reopen my old Interstate account if they were gonna charge me rack-rate.

Oh yeah the "story" is; China is enforcing their excise (?) tax, PLUS the price of lead went up

OK, gotcha. I haven't asked but I wonder if Honeywell also owns Ultratech since they sell them for a much lower price than Yuasa.

I just looked and they're still under $10.

Wouldn't you like to think so? :^)

I heard from another distributor that lead prices were up. Maybe China is buying it up to paint toys for Wal-Mart.

I'm loaded, but that price looks good. How long do you keep 'em on the shelf? js

I like to age them at least a year before using them - we will use no battery before it's time.

4 cases will last abt a month for me...kinda depends though, I used 3 on one system today and 1 on the house across the street from that one...so I'm down 4 before I even got home from ADI.

Aged lead, ah yes. Nothing finer. I wonder how long they've been sitting around before we get them. I used to know how to read the date code, but that information must have been stored in brain cells I killed off long ago. js

depends on the manu. some put the year first, then month then something else. that's probably why they go on sale every now and then...to rotate their stock.
