Example, the cheaper Diehard gold battery runs $135, which has tons of cold crank amps to start properly, but has less reserve capacity. So, that's more appropriate for people like me who have things that drain the battery, and yet still expect to start the car after sitting and playing music or whatnot for a while. Usually these more expensive batteries are giving reserve capacity. Both do the job, but there's usually inherent quality in a more expensive one, provided we're not just talking about a name. Look at this way, there's $10 handbags/purses at Walmart, and there's $1000+ designer, handmade versions. The AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are insanely powerful, tons of reserve and tons of life. You haven't been under a rock, you're just looking at batteries much, much better than the typical store battery. $250 is getting up there I would not pay that much myself and a store will not be there when/if you need them other than push-back on the warranty.
#Titanium autocraft battery warranty free#
is made by another company (someone mentioned Johnson Controls I think that's correct, they make most auto batteries) but its the service and warranty (warranty includes Free towing on dealer installed bat) and if issues come up they have everything in their records. I used to do everything including changing oil on my back if needed but also worked in the old Phillips 66 gas-service station during my youth where I did everything you can imagine on a vehicle - I take the easy route these days and have Ford service or Quicklane do most of the work. When I look our flex up it has 2 battery's one 750 and 850 cca Look for service coupons too on the dealer website or quicklane if you go that route. The $153/plus tax is probably with installation so if you can change a battery or have someone do it you can save $25. Malliekm, the Max is $129 on the ford owner website (starts at $119), I was curious because this fall I might replace our battery as a preventative step ours is still good after 6 years the warranty on the Max is 3 year free replacement and 8 year limited warranty so if issues come up in 8 years there is some value there. You know, before I met you guys my husband took care of this kind of stuff and I was blissfully happy and didn't have to worry about tires and batteries Just checked the name of the battery that's in my car now.it's the Tough Tested Maxx. I'm sure the Motorcraft Tough Max isn't on the same level as the Diehard Plat or Optima Yellow Top but it's going to have to do. Walmart is lookin' good Their Everstart Maxx is $120 but only 5 yr prorated warranty vs 8 yrs for the Motorcraft Tough Tested Maxx. The Autocraft Plat AGM is $200 w/ core charge. Which Duralast battery is the equivalent? There are no Costcos or Advanced Autos in my area.Īutozone sells the Yellow Top Optima for $250ish. Depending on what they say I'll either be swapping out for another Ford battery or buying one elsewhere.Īpparently I've been living under a rock the last several years.$250 for a stinkin' car battery? Really? Going to a different dealership tomorrow to see what they have to say about the battery and if they need to run that 2 hour test.
