Let the sodomization begin.... $400 for a g-d battery???

Awl--

I was preparing myself, with liberal applications of Preparation H, for duplicating my Honda Fit keys.

Then I found out what the goddamm battery costs, which is little bigger than a Harley Davidson battery--which makes sense, cuz Harley Davidson engines are as big or bigger than the Fit engine. $300-400!! Goodgawd.... I don't think my local drugstore carries enough Prep H for this one.

So here's the Q: Are there cheap Sears or other replacements for these small batteries?

If not, I'm going to measure and find the smallest standard battery I can, and *force* it in, even if I have to weld brackets, or use a sawzall, or run wires from the back seat. Fuck dis.

What a sodomization, $400 for a battery. Indeed, economic assault & battery.

And, I believe, it's just the beginning.

I bleeve it IS a motorcycle battery: a Yuasa, just like in my old bikes. It measures 5x8, by 8" tall.

Mebbe I could just hook up about 24 D cells, in series and parallel.... :)

Iny leads on where to get stock batteries cheap, car or cycle?

I would feel the same. I would try to find a spot in the trunk, or somewhere large enough to hold a standard battery, and run the necessary cables.

By the way, Vince at Custom Battery Cables made me some nice ones at a reasonable price for my 'project'. Now, I haven't talked to him in a while, but hope he is still well and cranking out custom cables.
