I just put a -BS battery in my RT. I did not know about the -BS thing until after I had already bought it.

Been in 2 weeks now and no issues so far.

In my video here I explain the -BS thing and what I did to make sure it did not leak.

Wonder who actually makes it? B+ is a labeler/reseller, not a mfr.

Just did a bit of reading and the xtreme permaseal batteries don't seem to do all that great. Lots of reading on short life. However, batteries plus does seem to stand behind them. Take it for what it's worth I guess....I'd still stay away from a battery that has removable caps of any kind. Permaseal sounds good though!...haha

I'm a pretty big Deka fanboy. Most times when it's coming time for a new battery I drive to the factory in PA and just swap one out right there. They also sell "seconds" or "blems" where the case might be a bit scuffed up or have a crooked sticker...lol. these have always worked very well in the past too and are priced right.

Managed to get to Batteries plus today. The Xtreme battery has a 1yr warranty and apparently comes to them without the acid. They add it there then put it on the shelf. It it actually cheaper in the store than on their site at $79.99

They have this option also:

2yr warranty and comes sealed from factory. Made in the USA!!! Including the $10 rebate on it, it will be $109.

Only differences I noticed are that the CCA is higher on the Xtreme (by 30) but the Duracell is sealed from factory and Made it USA

What do you guys think?

Only $30 more, sealed, and double warranty? IMHO, that's a no brainer.... Don't over think the CCA for our application.

Good point. Was kinda starting to think I would be paying mainly for the name but another year warranty is nice!
