What is the battery rated at? My battery was 500cca and was tested and I was getting about 300 so I replaced it. It didn’t cost that much though. I think it was about $160 for an Interstate battery with a 750 cca rating.
That seems a little expensive, but not outrageously so. For what it’s worth Costco sells a very high quality battery made by interstate for about half the price as AutoZone. Ask me how I know. Lol
Depends on the type of battery and the vehicle. If your vehicle has an AGM battery that’s the going rate. Also, if the battery is hidden, it can take longer than a battery that sits out in the open. Lastly, depending on the vehicle, some computers need to be programmed to let it know that it has a new battery. Failure to do that can destroy the new battery.
Perhaps if you had followed the rules and listed year, make, model, you could have gotten a more exact answer.
2014 Nissan Altima Base. I didn’t realize. I appreciate it everyone!
Bro, go to Costco or Walmart. You could pay less than $100
If I decided to replace the car battery myself, would I need any tools besides gloves?
Some cars have spare tools (jack, sockets, wrench, etc.) for emergency in the trunk, so if you don’t have any tools of your own, I’d suggest checking there first
Go to autozone or advanced and buy the battery. Tip the kid or elder $20. Take your self out to dinner
2014 Altima, either the 2.5 or 3.5 is a flooded lead acid group size 35, with 550 CCA. No note 69 for AGM, no note 54 battery is vented to outside of vehicle. So yes, with a proper carbon pile load tester, that’s a bad battery.
I’m guessing that’s for an Interstate AGM MTX line, with an MSRP of 254.95. With tax, and/or installation, that’s right there. The MTP or MT line would be 640 and 550 CCA, $209.95 / $199.95 respectively, and you don’t have to have an AGM battery per OEM specs.
That seems a bit high to me even if it was a top tier interstate battery. I recently purchased an mtx-78 740 CCA for just north of $200. Might want to shop around.
What’s the rating? Also what measurement? VW batteries are rated to 420 din while most domestic batteries are rated in CCA.
If it’s a BMW X5 at the dealer, yeah it makes sense. Otherwise, NO, go to Costco or Walmart and pay a reasonable price. I got a 24F at Costco for $119.00
