    Seems like a good deal to me if they are using NEW higher capacity cells than OEM. New being the operative word. I'm having a hard time finding a 28 pack of truly brand new cells at any price. Or I'm I just looking in the wrong place?

    I'm confused by the Napa listing where it says that they're wet cells. It also doesn't say how many milliamps the batteries are. Do you have any more information?

    Exclusively hybrid in Lake Park Georgia for that price their exit 5. Nothing but rednecks over there. Why would they start a business on the southern end of Georgia where nobody drives Prius? Don't think they're going to sell enough to stay in business in their prices too low to have any margin.
