True, but here is a comparison: 12V 18Ah battery Batteries Plus: $79.88 Battery Sharks: $38.27 12V 7.5Ah battery Batteries Plus: $42.47 Battery Sharks: $20.10 This is the total shipped price of a single battery based on ordering a set of batteries -- (2) 7.5Ah batteries or (4) 18Ah batteries. The price would probably drop a bit on both sides if ordering in quantity. Batteries Plus used to give us a discount on all of our orders since we were a regular customer, but they still weren't even close to Battery Sharks' prices. -- Bowie
