    OK, so the base price before whatever GB discount we end up with is the same as the current sale prices they list on their website.

    Got it, thanks for verifying. :thumbsup:

    @ramonortiz55, I suppose I should tell you I need a 27F.

    Does the supplier have 6volt by chance? [6v in parallel for my possible trailer setup]
    And can you see what the length of warranty is, 5 or 4 year?

    Has anyone seen this? From NorthStar's website:

    Will there be a list of vehicles that we do not want to sell product into because of their alternators?
    No, the number of vehicles and systems that exist today would make it difficult to identify, manage and update a list on a regular basis. So instead we have set charging the charging parameters of between 14.1 volts and 14.8 volts as an acceptable charging range. So long as the battery charging remains within these tolerances the battery will perform to its engineered specifications. It is recommended that for every application the customer test the charging voltage to ensure it is within the acceptable limits.

    Our alternators charge at 14 volts or slightly below...

    FWIW , I've had zero issues with my 27F in a year or so since I installed it
