West Marine has their 650 MCCA starting battery on sale for $39.95.
Good deal- Snagged one. They have a $5.00 core charge on your old
battery- so bring them one if you buy it.

I bought one today. I asked if there was a core charge since I didn't
have an old battery with me. They said no. It is the 665 MCA that is
on sale for $39.95 not the 650 MCA. That is a $30.00 savings.

When the salesperson rung up the sale he told me that he got a $1.00
commission on every battery the store sold. I have no idea why he told
me that.


I received the West Marine flyer yesterday and saw this battery. Does
anyone have any experience with this brand(SeaVolt)?

BTW: Great price on the Interlux Bottomkote ACT antifouling bottom
paint. ($70/gallon).

I used West Marine brand batteries on my first Sea Pro many years ago, and
had no problems with them. If memory serves, I bought a pair of "dual
purpose" batteries for starting and for running a salt water trolling
motor (and electronics, of course).

West Marine has used several suppliers for these batteries.


I wonder who the manufacturer is.
