Sign up for your local dealership(s) newsletters and you can find OEM batteries for right about the same cost as an aftermarket battery

 

after all my battery research on here I went with a brand new OEM battery. Not the panasonic it came with but an Interstate battery rebranded with the Honda sticker. Warranty is super nice piece of mind, it was only 90 with a core exchange

 

I like the Advanced Auto "Gold" series batteries.They are made by Johnson Controls.I run these in 3 of my 4 cars.( Vette runs Optima Red)

You can buy online ( use code BATX) and save about 25%,then pickup in store or they will install for free.

Just an idea.

I got a Sears Die Hard battery for $50 (regularly $110) because I took advantage of a sale. My advice is, after about 5-6 years, start looking for a deal and simply replace it, rather than wait until you must and then deal with all the inconvenience of a dead/weak battery. Mine starting showing weakness once its seventh year hit, and I bid my time, but it also helps that I have a trickle charger.

I also bring my own wrench and replace the old one where I bought the new one to save on install cost/time and recycling. Just do it in the parking lot.

 

1. Sam's Club, I think it was $55, but it was a couple of years ago; no brainer; they install; I wait!

 

Red and Green 'cause it's Christmas time?!

 

No offense, but not true.

Different manufactures and models have different CCA and RC, and there are differences in quality of construction as well. In addition, there are differences in warranty reflected in the pricing.

 

Just bought one there last year. An Energizer. About $65

 

Some one must work at an autoparts store... I work at Autozone and they push that crap like its gold. Wont help you if your battery is jacked for the start tho. lol.
