[boca chica dave]

Does anyone know where they sell trojan batteries for a good price in SD? or are people using a different brand now? we've heard a price of RD4,800 for one. Seems high. Thanks.

I agree that it's high, but haven't heard of a better price anywhere.
Here is what I can tell you that might help.
Despite the reputation of being the very best, I have personal experience of them not lasting as long as the black ones.
For that reason, I bought the black ones, the last time around, a few months ago, in Santiago for $3,450 RD apiece.
You can surely find them in Santo Domingo for that price too.

I should have been more specific.
The Trojan Black.

If not, you could call the place in Santiago to ask if they have an outlet in Santo Domingo or know where you can get them.

Rocky, I checked the trojanbattery.com website and don't find the Black. Oh well, whatever they may be if they last longer and are cheaper we'll try to find them.

Last time I was in Plazza Llama I saw black and Red Trojan 6v batteries RD$4500 each.
Also found some in Americano Departemento on J F Kennedy but that was about 6 weeks ago might have sold them all by now.

You can also now get AGM (gel) batteries in SDQ. I bought some. They are reliable, maintenance free, have a 1 year warranty. They are 12V and go for RD$14,000. Not cheap but I think worth it.

Although gel batteries are good and require no maintenance, you get much more for your money with the lead acid type.
