Title: Northstar NSB-AGM65
Post by: Joan on June 10, 2020, 01:49:34 pm
Does anyone have experience with this Northstar engine battery? Or, comments on the listed specs?

NSB-AGM65 (https://www.northstarbattery.com/product/23b61edb-4638-4650-8d03-1d6c76395bce)

The specs and price are very similar to the Interstate MTZ 65.

Input, battery-savvy people? Thank you!

By random chance, I just bought a new engine battery this morning at Sams Club.

$105 + tax for a traditional series 65 (850CCA) with a 3 year warranty. 

I found Costco and Sams Club to be $70 or so cheaper than my local auto parts store.  Wal-mart has a very similar battery (possibly the same as Sams Club with a different sticker) for those who don't shop warehouse clubs.

I know it's not AGM, has a 3 instead of 4 year warranty, and is rated at 850 vs 930 CCAs, but it's 1/3 of the cost.
