Replacement Batteries?

[Down2Ride]

I know Optima, but don't want to pay $180 each for batteries. What other battery is everyone using? Should definately replace both, right?

Yes you want to do both, a Die Hard Gold is the best bang Die Hard $104, 3 year full repalce. I went with the Platium cause I work at Sears and got a sweet deal and the golds that fit I sold the day prior.

Are they going in the 04 or 08? If the 08 warranty would be my first step.

Think they might have a better price tag as well.

5Year warranty too IIRC. But if you have the few extra bucks to spend, the DieHard Golds are rated for 80 or 90 CCA more.

What about Interstate Batteries?

I am getting close to needing some new batteries as well. I was greatly considering the Optimas, but they are pretty expensive! I still might pull the trigger on them, I have seen those optima red tops perform and they are an impressive battery for sure!

Went with NAPA. 1040 CCA @ 32 deg. 880 CCA @ 0 deg.
$105 each + tax. 75 mo. warranty. 18 mo. direct replacement. The remainder is pro-rated.

Die Hard Platinum. Need to replace both and dont go cheap or you'll be dead in the water. My dealer said that the factory batteries are only good for about 3 years. That's just about what I got out of mine.

I just replaced my batteries last week. Went with CAT batteries. 5 year free replacement, paid around 240 for the pair. Our shop mechanic said that will probably be the last set of batteries I buy for the truck.
