Have not seen anything, but a 300Ah 12V battery for $400 seems fair.
You buying to teardown, or ?

What are you going to do with it? I generally don't buy batteries unless i have a use case for them.

How much?
Amazon USA does not show a price to a Canadian...But the boarder has thickend up to the point now where they search your car to see what you are bringing in and charging a tariff right there.
No point shopping in the USA now.

similar when you bring things into mexico. if they find your gear, they will ask for receipt showing you paid a tariff or taxes. Anything to shake you down. This has happened both in a car crossing boarder from USA to mexico, and while flying from LAX to Cabo, in the airport when they randomly check bag through X-Ray. Fortunately I bring used gear into mexico, show receipts, and have street value ready to show them just in case. Otherwise, they go to amazon mexico, find full retail, ask you to prove you paid that amount, and shake you down for some tax. It's like when you get pulled over and get shaken down for a 'propina' - tip - for speeding. They don't want to take you to jail, just want some cash to by something nice for a loved one back home.
