The last battery i got which was about 1 year ago, i got from Wild West Honda.  price difference wasn't that much that made it worth the effort to drive anywhere else or order it from anywhere else.

I've gotten two batteries from HOH...fully charged and ready to go.  The price was pretty comparable

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

That's where I always went when I lived in Htown.

Oh I bet at walmart you can get it for less than that. I can't recall if you have to charge it first, but if you already have the trickle charger then you should be good.
