Costco sells Eveready batteries at very good prices.

Actually, I for one was glad to get all the info.  No bandwidth waste
there.  I had no idea of the inverse relationship between CCA and
durability before.  Now when I go to a 2 or 3 battery system I'll get
batteries with a lower CCA rating, instead of the highest I can find
like I've always done before. 

btw, if anyone's interested, Johnson Controls' website is at
