    I'm in the market for a new battery for Old Faithful.

    What's the consensus for the best deal on 29 batteries right now?

    A good deal would be $50 shipped for a yellow tab. BUt $50 is a STEAL DEAL... ideally it would be about $80 - $100 shipped for a new/er yellow tab 29 battery.

    You can get a used blue tab (older) for about $40...

    A few years back they were the go-to supplier. For the last few years there has been mostly very bad feedback on those guys.

    Great stuff!

    I posted a question for a replacement battery in a different thread and hadn't seen any feed back.

    thanks
