Exide Batteries
Guys where would be the best place to purchase a Orbital Exide Battery? Some of the national chain stores would be a good place to start...Walmart...Kmart...Autozone...etc .
Thanks

Those places you mentioned are good. Auto stores are good.
You are basically looking for the best price on this one because, in my view, a red top orbital is a red top orbital no matter who makes it. In most cases, the battery is made by exide (about 90% of batteries sold in the auto chains are exide) anyway and the only difference is the sticker and warranty on the side of the battery. At least that's how it was when I worked inthe parts business many moons ago.

Any of those stores could have them. Price could vary a bit, so might be good to make a few phone calls.

Just bought a new Exide Orbital today from Tire Kingdom in Fort Myers. It set me back $129.99. I used the recommendations from this board and went with the Orbital, so hopefully I won't have to worry about the battery for at least a few years.
