Costco 51 cheaper than 51R

[CarLuver]

was at costco and looking at batteries. my car needs a 51 r, and i noticed a 51 is $20 less . besides the terminal position, the rest seems the same. 51 was $89 the 51 R 109.

really thing is stick the 51 in there instead when the time is right. plenty of slack in the cables.

So why the difference in price?

Likely demand related.

just terminal position, which influences demand

This car takes a 51,

Had a spare 51R and made it fit,

Ground cable was a bit of a stretch.
