I went to Batteries+Bulbs to get a battery for my car this afternoon. I like the place, they have RayOVac 1.65 volt AA batteries on sale sometimes for less than the 1.5 volt AAs at other places. But I digress...

I went to the counter and asked for a Group 25 battery.

Blank stare from the kid at the counter.
"It's for my car."
"Oh. What's the make model and year."
He's standing in front of the computer.
"It takes a Group 25."
"But I need the make, model, and year."
Kid staring at me.
"OK, it's a 1956 Porsche 356 coupe with a 912 generator. It's been converted to 12 volts. It takes a Group 25 battery."
Now the kid is staring at his computer.
Someone, maybe the manager, comes out and rescues him.
"I'll get it."
$111 with my corporate discount. It's not a real common battery, but they had it.
