Any recommendations on a good replacement battery?

not sure it's "good" or not, but i just got like a $45 battery from wal-mart. they've got a list of compatible batteries. it's been fine so far...i've had it about a year now.

Two things.

1. Rusty, if you bought a battery a year ago, then you didnt "just got"
2. We own an s2k, we dont shop at friggin walmart. Target is the bottom of the barrel.

Off to Wal-Mart for my $45 battery. Wal-Mart rocks!

Pretty much every car battery is made by one of 3 major manufacturers. Since they already charged me an arm and a leg for this battery i'm probably gonna keep it until it dies. Can't go wrong with Sears, CostCo, Wal-Mart etc.

Target actually rocks hard too. Sorry to hear bout all your issues. I drove my S for three and a half years with the same battery? Why fix something that aint broke?

Im offended by that cause I work at walmart. I am treated really well there, they started me a $6.50 and after only 4 years Im already up to $6.95.

I almost bought the Optima in Aug. but changed my mind and went with a standard Sears Diehard. After hearing about the troubles I'm glad I stayed away.

haha...i did if i said "just got" as in "all i did was get"!

so...does that mean i shouldn't shop at wal-mart and should shop at target instead...or i shouldn't shop at either? i love wal-mart and their cheap jugs of mobil 1.

i got charged a $10 battery fee or something, but you get it back when you give your old battery back to them (so keep your receipt if you change it yourself). or i think you can have them just install it for you right when you buy it.
