I don't why this hasn't been made a poll yet but it should be lol. I know I'm going to get 100 different answers but I'm looking into getting a new battery soon. Mines starting to die out on me after 5 years. I guess a better way of asking this would be which batteries should I be avoiding?

 

Anything over $100.

 

really? anything over $100? then you ain't getting anything. Anyways, I just bought an AutoZone one today for $139. the last one I had was the 2 year warranty. It lasted exactly 2 years lol

 

Avoid the Optimax, from what I understand from several buds I know, Since JCI bought them out, they really don't hold up like they used to

 

Avoid Optima for sure. Nice if you need one inside the cab but not under the hood.

Autozone used to prorate their batteries for 7 years. Not any more.

Get one from Advanceautoparts. Order it online through the site, Google a checkout discount code, pay for it online and go pick it up in the store

 

Costco's batteries have a 30-month replacement, 84-month prorated warranty. Should be in the $78-$90 range.

 

I bought mine from Advance Auto Parts for around $95 with the fire department discount. It is a 3 yr battery plus it is CCA 850 CA 1000 RC 150

I believe it was around $140 for it without the discount

 

So O'Reilly's has a Super Start Extreme with 850 CCA and 1035 CA for $140. Is that good or too high? I'm clueless when it comes to the electrical side of things lol.

 

Read post #5 and #7 and save some money

 

I get that lol. I just want to know if 850 CCA 1035 CA is good or not. Like what numbers should I be looking for?
