    What are the chances of having another Northstar group buy? From what I’ve seen they’ve been in May for the last couple of years. Maybe it’ll be the same this year? I don’t think my autozone gold battery can last another longer:help:

    contact a Northstar rep and ask? I think that's how these things usually start. My opinion.. group buys during heavy inflation and supply shortages.. good luck.

    Function before sparkle.
    FYI - Northstar as a brand isn’t doing automotive batteries anymore.

    Enersys combined product lines last year and they have been replaced by the Odyssey ODX line. Warranty replacements are done with Odyssey (from personal experience).

    That's where I bought my X2. If you buy on line they usually give you another 10% on top of any sale or coupon. I waited for a sale, bought it online, and then picked it up at a local store. Saved a lot of money

    Even if you walk in, they want your money, and will give you the online discount. Just make sure you use a tender or a diode for charging.
    The first one in the 4runner almost lasted 5years, so I got the replacement free

    Ah, didn't know they would give the 10% in store. That's pretty cool. An yeah I throw it on the charger regularly to keep it happy. Atleast once a month

    I’ll look into batteries plus bulbs and see if I can catch a sale probably Presidents’ Day sale. Also seems like many people are using the X2 I read that it’s similar to the Northstar and odyssey so I’ll look into that too. I appreciate all the responds and tips :cheers:
