As I mentioned, I am an OEM plus a distributor for Lifeline AGM batteries - no sales pitch or rules violation attempted here. MY wholesale price sheet has not changed since 2012. Lead has been fairly stable since the wild swings in the commodity market place (on everything) during 2008-2012. I used to recycle batteries for customers on trade in because there was a decent value for recycle, but now I just let them know where to recycle batteries themselves.
Again, I can not help anyone in the MC arena, but if you need/desire AGM batteries in quantity for Boats, RVs, ... PM me. I can probably save you some $. On qty 1 or 2 such as car batteries, when adding drop ship S&H it is usually prohibitive to pass on any savings. BUT BEWARE, many battery warehouses sell old never installed batteries that are frankly useless or dead, especially non-standard sizes - Always Check the date code and return/ refuse shipment if more than 3 months old!!!
