I need a batteries for two cars--1969 144S and a 1990 240 --
Costco doesn't show anything for the 140 but shows 2 that would work for the 240. Interstate batteries--one for about $95 and another for about $110. These batteries have "feet" at the bottom for the original type "hold down". They'll work in the 140 if I futz with the orientation and length of cables.
Pep Boys (very close to me) lists a Bosch battery for about $85 for the 240.
So my question is --- Does anyone have recent experience with Bosch batteries? I've had Interstate and they were OK.
I'm somewhat skeptical about the subject. I worked at a Volvo indy shop and we dealt with a battery wholesaler. When I''d go to his location to pick up a new battery he'd ask what brand I want -then slap on the appropriate label :-( -- Dave
