On line price is 219.99, I bought in store for $199.99(dated 01/2017) - $50(25%) + $15 (core,taxable) + 12.79 (8% tax) = $177.78 with $30 mail in rebate = 147.78 for AGM battery. 4 years replacement but after that no pro-rated warranty. Easy Installation though review says not.

sure I could find the parts site again where I first saw it listed as a single item. Anyway, just wondering if these were
stock, part of an option package, or available only on certain editions. I've never seen one installed.
Hmm... I do not have this cover in my car, and I am too cheap to spend the money for it. If I want to spend the money, I would replace the current battery with AGM. Just curious, why they need to cover the battery? Just for aesthetic?
