Although it is listed on their website, I cannot find a Canadian Tire store in the GTA that actually carries the Exide Orbital battery with the Exide branding (bit purple and white "X" on the side).

Can anyone help...I need a battery today!

Lawrence.

I hate it when sales people don't know much about battery fitment.

Exide's web site says that the Orbital is meant to be used as a second battery...anyone using it as a starting battery...

I never run my stereo with the car off, so is this really what I want?

I've used my yellow top as a starting battery for months without any problems at all. I'm sure it would be fine.

Also you take something like a newer Civic with the battery on the firewall. No fitment guide anywhere will say a "standard" size Spiral cell will fit there. It will, but it's custom.
