I checked NAPA, the local price was $60 and they are filled with acid and then put in the system, starting to sulfate and have a shorter life if not sold promptly. I checked with Standard Battery Co and they had a dry battery on the sheld which they filled after and I paid for it $45.00. I'm sure Interstate Battery has them, and most cycle shops and dealers will have a line on batteries. I like the dry ones as the battery life should be longer. Let your finders do the walking in the yellow pages. NOTE Always disconnect the ground lead first and pull it back from the terminal. Connect it last others wise your screwdriver can make a path to ground casuing sparks, and maybe an explosion. Max
