Default Odyssey Battery PC680 - Best price

Sometime ago I saw a link to Bohannon Battery Distributor (www.bohannonbattery.com) in these Forums and kept the link in the back of my mind. If you want to save a significant amount on the purchase price of the common Odyssey PC680, you might consider this vendor.

I ordered my battery from Florida on March 1st, and it was on my doorstep on March 5th. Shipped from Florida to Oregon by priority mail. Total cost, including shipping, $115.41, via US Postal Service.

This gives meaning to the USPS television commercial we are all seeing on a regular basis, "If it fits, it ships, for one price". The battery is shipped in a USPS box with a little foam packing. You can't beat the price and you don't have to drive anywhere.

I just purchased a new PC680 from http://www.batterymart.com/ for $116.

The best part of the deal is the price included free ground shipping (from Winchester, VA).

If you can wait a few days for the battery, this is one heck of a good deal.

Default Bohannon

I'm fortunate that my hangar is about two miles from Bohannon, and I have purchased a number of batteries, including the PC680, from them over the years for various appliances and vehicles. Great people and I highly recommend them...
