    I contacted the same vendor as the previous times and is down for another one.

    If the group size you want isn't available, please put your request in!


    Here we go guys!

    Northstar battery group buy!

    [​IMG]

    This one took me forever to get started. I tried contacting Excide, they expressed NO interest in this. I contacted Optima and they pretty much ignored my constant requests for a discount. I couldn't get a vendor to provide discounts on Odyssey.

    Northstar, on the other hand replied and directed me to a distributor that's more than willing to work with me with this one.

    For those that are only familiar with Optima, here is a little more information from Northstar:

    http://www.northstarbattery.com/1/2/3.php


    Here are the group sizes PER Toyota's website:

    [​IMG]

    Group size sizing:

    [​IMG]

    The groups sizes that will be included in this group buy are:

    24, 24M, 24F, 27, 27F, 34/78, 31M and 35

    See more here:

    http://buy.northstarbattery.com/


    Please make sure to do your research here:

    http://www.northstarbattery.com/northstar/engine/literature.php


    and here:

    http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/154-1303-battery-bashing/


    [​IMG]


    So what is the discount?

    [​IMG]

    We don't need to achieve every tier level for every battery group. The tier level is per quantity, regardless of how many batteries per group get ordered.

    FREE SHIPPING TO CONUS (ALASKA, HAWAII AND CANADA - will be custom shipping quotes) for ALL TIER LEVELS


    How do I sign up? Here!

    If you are interested in this:

    Sign up by replying to this thread. Don’t chicken out. You are either in or you aren’t. NO maybe, no waiting on the wife, gf or bf to get permission. There is enough time to make up your mind or find a doctor to sell your kidney or pawn your wife’s jewelry. If you are on the fence to see if it’ll go up to max discount before you jump in, you are HOLDING the group buy back. Don’t be that dude.

    So if I have a "3UR" 5.7 in my 2019, am I reading it right that I'd want the 27F size?

    Or to put it another way, what model number for the biggest baddest NorthStar (winch, pod LEDs, 20" light bar...) I can fit in there with no modifications?

    I saw it on there... but this is what confused me.

    "The groups sizes that will be included in this group buy are:

    24, 24M, 24F, 27, 27F, 34/78, 31M and 35"


    I'm in on the buy. Thank you for getting the ball rolling!

    I read the technology page but why is this battery better than another type such as Optima, etc...? Is there something different about these ones compared to others?

    Yes it is. Been covered here on the forum as pretty much wives tales. "Anything is better than Optima these days" is simply not fact. North Stars are great batteries too. Good luck with GB.

    If the group 25 batteries were in the GB, this may help people buy 2 for the Genesis Dual Battery system.. Just sayin. As of right now, I am getting ready to order Odyssey...

    Doesn't look like Northstar makes a group 25. Maybe there's a similar size?

    So dumb question - is there a way to know how much life your battery has left in it? Voltage still shows normal on the dash, but the truck is 2 years, 50k miles old.

    @ramonortiz55 my apologies, I thought my battery that was going bad would make it till this group buy. Ends up I had to run to Napa Auto parts and get a new one 30 minutes ago. Again my apologies but I need to be removed form the buy.
