Just a heads up, I think I'm in need of another battery (have to charge my little over 3 year old HD battery every week or it won't start) so I started looking around.
I started to buy the ETX20L Big Crank battery (Deka) from Batterymart for about $86 and free shipping with a 1 year warranty then I found out Advance Auto sells the Magna Power battery (same Deka made battery, different name) with a 1 year warranty.
It is $89.99 at Advance Auto but if you use coupon code RAF7JA1102 you can get $35 off that making it $54.99.
The ETX30L at Advance is $126.99 but after using the code it comes out to $91.99 plus tax so about the same as the $97.95 price at www.batterymart.com I like the fact that there are lots of Advance Auto stores around in case you need to use the warranty.

You're checking Auto Zone not Advance Auto and theirs only has a 3 month warranty.
Here's a link http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...0_A%7CGRP60054____
Remember my bike takes the ETX20L but most of the touring bikes if not all use the ETX30L

I was showing a guy at work the price and on his computer it showed up as $109.99 also. Tried another computer and that one showed $89.99.
It is something strange with Advance Auto's site. It showed up at home as $109.99 yesterday too for a minute then I closed the browser and went back on and it was $89.99 again.

Well I went to a Advance AP store & it was 109 & they couldn't do the $35 coupon in the store so he told me to order online & he would adjust the price at the store. The manager came over & said they couldn't adjust the price once it was placed online so he called the hotline & they agreed to honor the $89 & the coupon but I had to do it by phone with a pickup in the store. It took 20 minutes but they got it done. Funny thing was it came up 109 in the stores computer but 89 with the hotline. It took some work but I got it done. Final price with tax, $65 with a $6 refund when I return the old battery. Thanks for the info.

Damn what a pain in the Obama.
Glad you got it for the right price even though you had to go through all that.
I'm at home now and checking the site it shows up as $89.99 for me. Now everytime I order sometghing through Advance I'm going to wonder if I'm actually getting the lowest price on their stuff.
