My new truck questions
#122
You don't need to spend that much money on batteries. I usually go to Autozone, Batteries Plus or Truck Pro (a truck parts store). Just get the highest amp battery you can find. I usually get one that has 1,000 CA and have never had a problem with any of them. I have paid as little as $54 for a good battery (1,000 CA) from Autozone. It depends on what type of battery you need as to where you should go. I don't recall ever paying $100 or more for a good battery. You should be able to find one for around $75-85 at the most. There are a lot of owner operators who use Interstate Batteries. I had a truck with the Batteries Plus in them sit up for several months, hit the starter and it cranked right up.

Just sayin'. :wink: My truck came OEM with them, but I had one replaced at Peterbilt. It cost around $200. The plus of Optimas, is that they SHOULD last a whole lot longer than a standard battery, and they hold their charge a lot better. Well worth the $, IMO.
