Fw: battery costs rising [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

Jeff,
This topic is more appropriate for the Markets list. But as both lists are
available to anyone who wants to read them, there may be some installers who
don't want to openly discuss wholesale prices.

I'm not sure what the solution is re your battery price question, given
that. The increases you see are common in our area as well. Ours are
delivered.

> As most of you know by now, the price of lead and scrap lead is heading
out of sight, and this is making battery costs go up faster than we can keep
up.  Just tomake sure our local supplier is not giving me the business, how
about a reality check on prices in your area.

think Trojan is a better battery, but the DECCA supplier is local and we can
pick up at his dock anytime without pre-ordering and no shipping charges.
However, just two months ago we were paying $161.00 each, and last year we
were paying around $133.00.

selling them for.  DO you pay shipping or can you find local?
