Is the 140 with installing it?? If so there probably adding a labor charge in that 140.

check out the Deka m/c batteries... then you'll have a battery that will last. It would be nice if we could get prevailers... now that's a battery. You can drain them to "zero" drop them in the ocean for six months... pull them out and they will charge back to 100 percent. Used them on my sail boat a few years back. The best battery I've every seen. Deka is next best IMHO. Keep in mind we all have our personal brand. /Ken krb1945
