IBS bypass?

I’d still get them locally. No reason to wait, and no reason to feed the machine. Plus you know you aren’t getting some returned item or counterfeit junk. Amazon just isn’t what it used to be.

Also gives you the ability to test and replace them on the spot for issues with a local store having more at the ready. Same day warranty replacement. If you really need delivery, some stores will also drive it out to you. Plus you need to go there to drop off the old battery anyway, so it’s not like you’re saving a trip.

Batteries just don’t make sense to ship unless you need something really specific.

+1 to the counterfeit concern. A buddy of mine got counterfeit NGK spark plugs there. Only discovered it after his truck started running funny. He pulled the plugs and found one defective. when he replaced them with locally bought plugs discovered the amazon ones looked like bad copies.

I decided to try an Everstart battery from Walmart. Series 94 $180.00 with a 4 year replacement warranty. I was able to get 1 about 1 month old, charged it before installing. I also disconnected my auxiliary battery and pulled the fuse. I installed the 2 amp onboard NOCO charger/ maintainer and plug in religiously even though I have the heavy duty alternator as part of my max tow pkg.

Batteries don't make sense to ship, if you have to pay the shipping cost.

I've been buying from Amazon since the time they only sold books. I've never had a problem with counterfeit items, or used items being sold as new, but I am very picky about who I buy from (same as with ebay).

Where you buy is a personal decision. I prefer Amazon for many items, even though there is an Autozone about a mile away. I get free shipping from Amazon, and I live in an area where many items are available for same or next day delivery. Not everyone has that available to them.
