I need at least 1 8D starting battery for my 480db. My service people are telling me their suppliers have orders that haven’t been filled for 2 months. Anyone have a source that I might check out on my own?
 
Oh shit...

Have you checked batteries plus as a last resort?

I've bought 8D's at NAPA and Advance Auto Parts. Any auto or truck parts store can get them.

Oh, and you should replace them all at the same time, both for battery reasons and logistical getting them in and out. You'll be glad you did it all at once.
 
Thanks everyone. The only batteries I’ve found are deep cycle. I need 8D Thin Plate starting batteries to deliver the CA the CAT 3196 diesels need for starting. I did check Batteries Plus but no inventory. Turns out my bow thruster batteries are 8D starting batteries. So I’ll move them to the engines and buy new 8D deep cycle for the thruster. Thanks again for all the responses.
