i remember when the same fucking battery was $80

Seriously though, have there been battery advances that warrant that price increase or is it just capitalism rearing its ugly head again?

If it was a modern lithium battery it would have some merit. However there has not been a single advance in lead batteries.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. So it's either cost of materials increase, increased environmental regulation, or greed.

Hmmmm I wonder which one contributes the most
