A New Battery Costs What?

Well I just spent $208 USD for a new battery. An AGM battery may be ovekill but that's all anyone is carrying. I got five years out of the previous battery. Here's hoping the same for this one. Three batteries in 23 years. I probably can't complain too much.

AGMs do cost more. I bough a conventional battery from Costco last year (I was a member then) for my '88 for $75. Had a Walmart battery (3year) prior. The Walmart one lasted 5 years. Costco battery was still $50 less than I paid for the Walmart one.

I will regret making this post I'm sure, but my Walmart battery from 2016 is still plugging along nicely.

In January 2024 I paid like $99 plus tax at Costco for a Group 34. They didn't have any Group 58's in stock. Took an extra 10 minutes to pull the tray and trim the end off with my cutoff wheel. 3-yr full warranty. Apparently recently Costco has changed their tune on the Interstate Warranty. It is now a 3-yr prorated warranty.
