NOTE: While the website says $127.97 for the lowest cost battery sizes, that appears to include the $10 core charge because when I went in store, the prices at $10 cheaper ($117.97) than what shows on the website. $10 cheaper in store appeared to be across the board for all battery sizes (I checked a bunch of alternates sizes, with other prices, that all should fit my vehicle to compare additional cost versus additional CCA). I don't believe they will ship these & if they do, they tend to charge for shipping anyway.
https://www.menards.com/main/sear...ve+battery Remember, the price in store was $10 cheaper than shown on the website (but there is a $10 core charge that you get back by returning your old battery (or any car battery).
Until tomorrow they are having a 15% off sale (GOOD ONLY THROUGH SUNDAY 1/12) for anything that fits in one of their standard size paper bags (which are available instore), which brings the $127.97 price online to the $117.97 (Instore price) down to $100.27 plus the $10 core charge which you get back by returning your old battery that you are replacing.
NOTE: make sure to point out to the cashier that the battery will fit in the bag & that you get the 15% off because it does not appear that this is one of the items that automatically ring up that way (at least for the size I bought).
NOTE: The 36-month FREE REPLACEMENT (not just "prorated") warranty is shown as a "Menards exclusive."
FWIW-I used to work in the industrial battery division of one of the largest lead-acid battery manufacturers. One of the guys I worked with formerly worked at Johnson Controls (which only made automotive batteries). He mentioned that AC DELCO made really good car batteries and seemed really impressed with the. Personally, I always had good luck with AC DELCO batteries and they used to be the ONLY ones I bought, back when I could find them easily without going through GM (and at great prices from Trak Auto, when they were still around).
By way of comparison, you could by a group size 51R battery from Menards for $100.27 with FREE 3-year replacement and the same size from Walmart in an EverStart Maxx Lead Acid Automotive Battery with a 3-year replacement warranty shows for $149.84 (online, Chicago area) and an Interstate 51R would be $123.99 (without core charge) but only has a 36 month "prorated" warranty.
NOTE: Menards online isn't very good at telling you which size batteries are currently in stock for their automotive batteries, so you are best to just ignore it & check your closest location (for anyone with one within a reasonable distance.)

edit: based on this sale here and regular prices elsewhere. This one is $15 cheaper than costco and $35 less than sams/wm.
