You can get one from Walmart for approx. $100, which MAY sound a lot, BUT if your car lets you down, in the middle of nowhere OR worse still, in the middle of traffic, you will wish you replaced it. A bad battery in the Crossfire can cause all sorts of problems, and the problems will get worse as time passes. I would get your battery checked, clean and check all battery connections, including other end of ground cable, and replace battery if not really good.
Agreed.
I had a battery die in my Durango (company owned). It cost us $90 for the two, $90 for diagnostics (the engine would turn over, but not actually start - like it had no spark/gas). And $89 for the battery - this was back in about 1997.
I TRIED to get the boss to just change the battery weeks before, but he would listen. That cost him no less than $180.
