O'reilly's has the gas mat battery... not Vatozone... $96.33 with taxOriginally Posted by black roadster
Well I took it to O'Reillys and VatoZone. They both tested it and said bad battery.
O'Reillys machine just said "Bad Battery" on the automatic cycle they used on the machine.
VZ's hand held machine said zero CAAs.
Regarding what Iain said about VatoZone's battery. They have it in stock for $80 but it is a traditional lead acid battery. I think I'll pass and get a sealed gel style battery like the Westco or Optima for a few dollars more. Not about the bling but the fact that I don't want a corroding lead acid battery in my trunk, even if it is vented.

I would order a WestCo from your favorite Miata vendor, or the DURALAST-GOLD (rebranded WestCo sold at Autozone). Both will run you around $80-90. It is $89.99 directly from WestCo with free shipping. I believe Autozone charges $79.99 plus tax.Originally Posted by black roadster

Hmmm... I have seen several people reference the DURALAST-GOLD part #8AMU1R from Autozone as being an re-branded Westco AGM.Originally Posted by black roadster
never mind

Well I ordered a Westco from batteryweb.com. $84.95 No tax and free UPS ground shipping from Florida.
Since I'm not in a hurry I think this was the best CB deal. Westco charges tax to shipments to TX.
Wow! The VZ Duragold is a rebadged Westco? I'd like to see some documentation b/c the one I saw looked like a lead acid. The O'Reilly was unknown to me. The trained monkeys at the store never even heard of AGM batteries.
I noticed that too. Spooky.Originally Posted by Titus
