    Seriously though, have there been battery advances that warrant that price increase or is it just capitalism rearing its ugly head again?

      If it was a modern lithium battery it would have some merit. However there has not been a single advance in lead batteries.

        Yeah that’s what I was thinking. So it’s either cost of materials increase, increased environmental regulation, or greed.

        Hmmmm I wonder which one contributes the most

      Probably just capitalism, but I wouldn’t be surprised if car batteries are reaping at least some of the benefits of the EV industry and their race for better batteries.

      Vehicles with auto stop-start will chew through batteries if they don’t use the more expensive specialised battery (or disable the feature)
