i have been buying the oreillys lead acid batteries for starting. that said, 8d's are 8d's i have no brand allegiance. thats why for agm's i dont pay the premium for lifelines. a 50 percent plus premium is not worth it to me.
i buy alot of batteries there (for gurus who pop in here in wittmann) and myself so they knock quite a bit off for me. i think i paid like 195 a few months ago.
in my opinion, it is nuts to keep the batteries merged all the time. if your charger is working right, then it will charge your house batteries and the echo charger (or amp l start) will keep your starting batteries charged when sitting. if you keep your merge or emergency start switch on.....you will run both banks of batteries down potentially and now you are really stuck.
