Found a Deal on new 6TL batteries. Who wants some?

[HeadWizard]

I was debating which way to go to when replacing the batteries in Shorty, so I started calling around to find if any distributors had 6TL's, new or blems, at a decent price. I found one of my industrial suppliers who sells East Penn brand (DEKA) MILSPEC batteries, who told me he can get fresh, new 6TL's for $84. That's at least $30 less than ANYONE else I've found and is about the price of 31's.

More info on these batteries can be had at:

That all being said, if anyone wants any of these units, you are welcome to them at my cost. I need to place an order ASAP for the total needed. They can be picked up in Chantilly, VA or possibly in Richmond, VA for no additional freight. I can ship them for whatever shipping costs. I am willing to hold them for a while here if necessary (and of course paid for). Since I'm buying and selling through my business there will have to be sales tax, 5%, if picked up in VA.

I will accept cash and non-rubber checks, additionally VISA, MasterCard and PAYPAL with an added $3 fee per battery.

The distributor told me I need to have the order in no later than Friday

Send me a PM if you want them, or call my cell at 571-436-5800.

I just called the local Batteries Plus and they quoted me 189.99 EA, but after checking on the delivery time with his supplier he stated that they have discontinued these as they are now only selling them to the military.

What are the specs on these batteries?
I'd be happy with a pair that will start the Ol' girl without using my 200a booster.

If you click on the link in my post above and then click on the PDF link "DEKA Ordanance" on the lower left, it will bring up a PDF spec sheet.

I might be interested especially since you are just up 95 from me. Are these wet or dry? Or is there a choice?

Wet or Dry.........

Very good question. I neglected to ask .

I supposed I ASSumed wet, but will verify availability of both tomorrow.

Dry ones ship a lot cheaper than wet...for sure

Web page says 'wet or dry'

 

[HeadWizard]

Talked to the supplier and the ones that are available from him for this deal are WET ONLY.

While dry might be listed as available, he doesn't have them.

Anyone interested, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks-

Don
