Does anyone have an idea of who manufactures the Canadian Tire Nautilus branded AGM battery #10-3490-0? It is listed as GR34DC-48 and priced at C$169.99. The blue top Optima at CTC online is C$219.97. The Nautilus seems like good deal.<br /><br />Greg

Re: Cdn Tire Nautilus AGM battery manufacturer?

From what I've heard they are a very good battery, I did find the manufacturer on a website last week but can't find it again right now. (maybe it was on my home PC, I'll look through the history tonight).<br /><br />The Nautilus you're looking at may not be the best deal, depending on what you're looking for. It has lots of cranking amps (950 I think), but only 100 minutes reserve. They have another battery for $120 that has 650 or 750 cranking amps (can't remember) but 205 minutes reserve. <br /><br />Not sure your intended use, but I was looking at the same things last week. I needed batteries for a house bank, so cranking amps wasn't my prime need. I bought 4 of the others.<br /><br />Good think with CT is that you can return, no questions asked, within a year, and they'll prorate after that for 4 years. If something goes wrong, they'll cover you - even if it was your fault. This is what I've heard from others.

Praetorian, (had to look it up) thanks. This is a cranking battery for my 3.0 VP. I couldn't find any other AGM marine batteries other than the Optima on the CTC site. If you find the manufacturer that would be great, I'm curious.<br /><br />Greg
