Need new battery

Naich · 12-09-2003, 05:22 PM

Ok, I am going to have to get a new battery. I don't have a lot of money to spend (read, <$60). Any suggestions? I have a system, but it is not that big, and I hardly every crank it up anyways.... so I'm just looking for a good all-around battery.

Go to Walmart as their batterys are decently priced & are reliable.

I am a big fan of Interstate Megatron batteries.

where do you get those?

Well since my dad owns a repair facility, I get them through him, but I think you know what I am talking about I am sure you have seen one of their race cars on TV before or if you were at a NasCar event.

I had a Die Hard gold in there, and boy it sure did "die hard."

Wal-Mart warranties batteries for a year, I think. They're also cheap. They even give you a little pouch to put the receipt in and slap on the battery.

Wal-Mart. cheap, easy, no hassle. And I believe the free replacement warranty is for a year, after that, it is prorated for a certain length of time (read more $ = longer warranty).

ya, Walmart batteries, cheap, will last the year. then kaput.

I have a Carquest Quadpost Gold Series battery. 3 year no question warranty.

I had a motomaster eliminator battery on my old Cav. Had a 3 year free replacement period and a 9 year warranty. Our Canadian Tire stores here have deals like this.

yea i have the same motormaster battery. Its good till december 2nd 2008 for the warranty. No questions asked

If you have any type of system I would suggest a capacitor. Will run you anywhere from $40-$150

Good luck.

HOw old is the Die HArd Gold? Sears does warrenty the bateries mayby you could get a replacment for under what your looking to spend. I had my gold replaced 2 years ago in my old car and it only cost me $20

Naich · 12-11-2003, 12:26 PM

I don't need a CAP with my system... I only have a 120 watt amp pushing 3 10" subs... yeah i know it isn't much, but I don't ever listen to my system pounding anyway.

With the diehard gold, I am not sure about the warrenty, but I do know that I don't have the recipt anymore. I looked all over for it and its gone.

Anything is better than the stock AC Delco. About 3 weeks ago the casing around the positive post just blew right out. Left me stranded for about 3 hours. Pretty pissed. A guy that works at NAPA told me that he's seen about 4 or 5 others do the same.
