Re: Bought a battery lately?
My son left the headlights on overnight in my SRT6 over the weekend. The battery is the original OEM unit from 2005, now about 8 years old but with only 35,000 miles on it.
Anyway, the car won't start (obviously) but won't take a jump either. Hint, no spark from the negative jumper when grounded to the chassis or even the terminal (yep, went there).
I'm thinking it's not worth trying to put a charge on the old battery. It may not be reliable after that sort of stress with the age.
So, I checked the Sears website for a DieHard and all they list for the Crossfire is a single battery ($149.99) for "V6-3199 3.2L SOHC". Are the batteries for the Base, Limited, and SRT6 all the same?
OK did some research...........
Advance | Autocraft Gold | 48H6 | 770 CCA | $135.99
Autozone | Duralast Platinum | H6-AGM | 730 CCA | $159.99
Autozone | Duralast Gold | H6-DLG | 600 CCA | $135.99
Sears | Die-Hard Gold | H6/48 | 730 CCA | $149.99 | Apparently not available/sold in CT. Environmental???
Opinions?
Looks like the Autocraft Gold is the best deal. Anyone have experience with the brand or Advance as a retailer?
