Not sure where to put this as it didn't seem to fit any of the "Technical Section" categories. I double posted here and the Off Topic section where I responded to an older thread. So.....like the title says.

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? Other options?

Looks like the Autocraft Gold is the best deal. Anyone have experience with the brand or Advance as a retailer?
