They are pretty much the same batteries at these locations as far as I can tell after talking to Deka, and the batteries look identical at all four stores. Pay attention to Batteries Plus labeling as compared to the others listed above. The RC rating that BP shows on their group 31 batteries is RC 225 if I remember correctly, but that is at 23 amps. To compare to other batteries you need to make sure your comparing apples to apples. The RC rating of the Batteries Plus group 31 at 25 amps is 185. Most manufactures show the RC value at 25 amps.

I recently went through my options for low price wet cell batteries and could not beat the Interstate SRM-29 with an reserve capacity of 210 (@25 amps) for $99! This was a local fishing shop in MN where I found that price.
