My '14 battery is pooched. I've used a battery tester on it and a load tester. Both say it went to heaven.
Other than CTC or Walmart what places sell a battery I can trust and that won't break the bank?
Thanks

Costco. They sell quality Interstate batteries at about half what you'd pay elsewhere. That would be my number one choice. If you don't have a membership, the savings alone would help pay for their silly membership fee, or you could work with someone you know with a membership to help you out.
Costco Item Number 8850242

Hey Wallythacker I added some details to my previous post. Hopefully your local store has that item number on hand - call first?
You'll have to tell us how it goes for you. Someone else around here used the Costco Interstate Group 35, but I can't remember if they needed the longer j-hooks or not. Wouldn't hurt to have a pair at the ready and simply return them if you don't need 'em.

I'm not an ac delco battery fan. The few that I bought don't seem to last and most new ones I used didn't even meet the specs on the label according to my tester. I have had good luck with this brand https://www.cdnrg.com/ so far everyone I've tested from new met or had more cca than the label showed. I can't remember the part numbers, there were 2 to chose from that don't show up on the online catalog and fit perfect.

Sorry, no idea. I don't see the price for parts I use on the work cars. I don't even pay much attention to how much parts I buy are, just pay my bill at the end of the month.

I just saw the post about battery tie downs. Isn't that what battery cables are for?
