My chassis batteries have been killed by too many deep discharges & I am 6 mo's out of warranty. Should not happen as I just got a Trik-L-Start charger. BUT at this time they have little capacity. Have'nt priced them from Frtliner yet, but is there a less expensive battery. Really like some of the batteries at Costco because the warranty can't be beat & have always worked well in all my other veh's & old MH. Costco's may be a problem because of battery post instead of a screw terminal.

Most large auto Parts stores have one to fit. Not sure if costco's will or not. But you surely don't want to buy from Freightliner. Highest price off all.

I bought new batteries in Sam's Club; they had them in stock. Costco might be willing to order them for you. I know they will order non-stock (car & light-truck) tires. In fact, you might be able to check that on their web-site.

I had my engine batteries not hold a charge iether, went to Interstate, gave me 2 new batteries, I was lucky, they were still under the warrentee. Iam very happy with that brand.
