Interesting. There was a core at HD when I bought a group 78. Believe it was $15.
A 49 is heavy enough that not taking the core refund can be a good idea for a few bucks. But I’ve seen core fees as high as $22.
Napa sells Deka batteries and I prefer them and Exide to any JCI batteries since that all got offshores to Mexico. IMO/E the exide leaking thing was old news due to overtorquing and not applying dielectric grease. A little prevention and they’re great. And USA made. I’ve had multiple JCI batteries go south on me too fast.
I’m also a fan of the white MB Battery if they still make it...
