Battery issue? Well sorta..

metrick1235 · Mar 24, 2012

Ok so im due for a new battery.. I had a Wally World Maxx Battery before and it has done me well for the 5 years its been in the car but its time for a new...

My issue is when you go to walmart for a new battery two things have happened..

1. they have no clue...

2. they only sell batteries with the Reservoir Caps above the battery.. Which means the tie down doesnt fit... I really dont have the money for a yellow top battery but at the moment its looking like thats my only choice.. any other suggestions? I have looked at Nappa, Advanced Auto, Walmart, Kmart, Summit Racing..... any other places i could look...

Does a costco exist in your area? I just picked up a Kirkland battery for mine 2 weeks ago for only $70+tax and it seems they've got a reliability to work as a champ.

Give a check to this if you havent already to make sure they had the model needed for you in stock.

Hands down.. Yellow-top. Why cheap out on a $60 Walmart battery when you can cough up the extra 40 to 50 bucks for a quality product.

Where are you getting an optima yellow for 100-110?

k so i guess ill check out Autozone. for a red or gold...Most likely the gold because its only $7 more for longer warranty and bigger bang for the buck..

Wish i could afford an Optima..

but no Costco in my area... i live in redneck-ville... seriously... the strip club up the streets nickname is Mountain City Titty...... and under no circumstances to i advise anyone to go there... especially after eating...
