Auto battery sticker shock

Almost close in size is piss poor mechanical.

Batts are sized group wise for a reason. So it can be mounted properly, with a propper fitting hold down. In the event of an accident, if that BATT comes lose, and hits your MOM in the back of the head, you'll wish you wwre not such a cheap retard.

Jesus fucking christ you guys.

got a battery for a subaru the other day @ walmart- $133.ish

They'll be stealing batteries out of your car.

Usually the retail cost includes a "core" fee, so basically all that means is you bring in your old one with proof of purchase for the new one, and they give you a sizealble rebate.

Its because they have to be disposed of properly so ... thanks to this lovely thing called capitalism....

The potential liability is passed on to you, the customer!

Blame the environmentalists

$149 from the shop

$000 from Democrat voter's car

We've got two manual vehicles here and I plan on keeping them. But looking around for newer ones, they're getting fewer. Only on lower-end vehicles now.

way less

About ten years ago I bought the biggest portable power pack Walmart offered. It was a Schumacher that cost me about $159 and had two AC and one DC outlets on the front along with a USB charging port and an LED work light. The 14ga. battery cables coiled around the back while on the side was a tire inflator I never bothered with since it was largely useless and noisy as Hell [like they All are]. Today Walmart only carries a much smaller Schumacher and even it's over $100... with an MSRP of $320.50!

I actually bought mine for a household emergency power source and used it a couple of times during thunderstorms with strings of LED Christmas lights [where it worked great]
since they're not made for very heavy loads.

I kept it in the trunk and started my 28-yr old beater many times the first couple of years but noticed it quickly took longer and longer to recharge. Finally the internal battery just gave out and when I discovered a rebuilt generic replacement would cost me over $50 I tossed the whole unit.

Kinda' sorry now that I did.

If you can, check and keep the water level full.

After they shut down the grid, we're gonna have to enslave the undesirables.. sadly all molestors and murderers and junkies will need to be kept away, but we will house and feed them as long as they generate voltage.

See, I plan to build underground DC generator stations with like a big wheel, with a prisoner chained to every spoke, and as long as they are physically able, they will turn that wheel.

People can have light and charge their batteries for their various uses...

Should be a fun time

Core charges are one reason I now buy a starter or alternator online- since it actually worked out a little cheaper in the long run and I still had several pounds of Copper wire in the old one.

Err, havn't you realised it yet? . . . There is a deliberate move to make FREE movement impractical. Overly expensive fuel and parts are all part and parcel of this totalitarian control mechanism.

it's not difficult to refurbish a battery.

tons of vids on it

Not true

Avoid AGM type batteries.
Very little depth of discharge, total amp-hours nowhere near to flooded cell type.

Future craigslist ad

"For sale: 1999 Toyota. No cat no battery open exhaust, ten mexicans living in the back seat and on the roof. Three ISIS dudes living in the trunk. Ran good last time I started it.
Ten thousand or offer."

POST ONE

JUST ONE

FOR THE NON MEXICANS

I have used those before. They are awesome. It is a reverse stungun. Very high amps at low voltage. You can drain it in about 10 seconds.

Paid $132.99 for a Duralast Gold battery for my car 6 years ago. Same battery is $189.99 now.

Those electric vehicles have lotsa batteries.

The manager and CEO class are the biggest cunts we have veer had to endure.

Fucking battery making is the easiest shit ever.

But our overlards deny us the factories.

FUCK THE TOP

you can thank Trump for the extra cost of stuff from china!

I purchased the hundred dollar battery a Walmart and gave them my core. A few months later the battery crapped out from sitting. I took it back to Walmart with my sales receipt. I was informed that I would have to pay another core charge. I told them they had the one and only core. I went around with four women for thirty minutes before getting the cash back minus the core.

No more Walmart batteries.

Home Depot sells Exide Batteries.

Many of the new batteries now are Glass Mat. This drives the price up, but even the standard wet batteries are much more expense now. My father in-law used to work for Johnson Controls (they make most of the batteries out there including Interstate). He tells me that the reason for the price increases are due to environmental issues with manufacturing. Johnson controls shipped their manufacturing plants to Mexico to avoid these environmental issues. This brought the quality down and increased the prices.

shit im gonna start taking them out and selling them on FB

a mcdonalds cheesburger is 2.19 now here.
More then double the cost of 1 year ago.
Better learn to be frugal.
