When you replace your Car battery do you go with low price,medium price or top price?
They tend to be the most expensive at just over $200.I'm not sure where they are on the price scale but I just buy Interstate batteries for my vehicle.
Just bought one for my pilot. $300. Had to buy an AGM battery since my car has auto start stop.They tend to be the most expensive at just over $200.
Yeah, those are expensive. Last battery I bought was for my 1965 Mustang, so very low tech, low demand use. The old battery was over 8 years old when it died......but only driven about 7,000 miles.Just bought one for my pilot. $300. Had to buy an AGM battery since my car has auto start stop.
I like to buy the most expensive - I don’t want to be stranded anywhere with a dead battery. But there was a battery shortage a few months ago and I had to buy the one I could find.

I think our Camry Hybrid uses an AGM 12 volt battery, a little tiny one that is in a small compartment in the trunk. That will be expensive to replace.
It is an "A" code 289 V8 4 barrel 225 horsepower. The "A" code has a higher compression ration than the standard 289 so requires premium gasoline. . As far as I know it is the original engine, Ford didn't put the VIN on the engine in those days so no way to be 100% certain. The carb and intake manifold are aftermarket, not original, but as far as I know the engine is stock beyond that.Curious about the ‘Stang…
Does it have the 200 c.i. straight-6, the 289 c.i. V-8, or has the original engine been replaced with something else…?!

Reminds me of my mom's 1974 Buick Apollo. That was a Chevy Nova with a Buick name plate on it. To get to the right bank spark plugs, you had to remove the right front wheel, there was a flap in the inner fender to reach through to get to the plugs.This reminds me…
My BIL owned a Chrysler Sebring convertible several years ago, and the battery was in a compartment in the left front wheel well in front of the tire, and behind a cover.
You could access the battery (to jump start, clean the terminals and connectors, etc.) from there by turning the wheels to the right, but you had to take the tire/wheel off to replace it.
One of the most inconvenient places I’ve ever seen for a car battery.

The standard 289 is the "C" code with a 2 barrel and lower compression ration and will run on regular gas. It puts out 200 horsepower.
The top of the line 289 was the "K" code. It puts out 271 horsepower, has a 4 barrel, a hotter cam, and mechanical lifters and a higher compression ratio than the standard C code 289.

The Chevy Monza with a V-8 of that era was worse. You had to unbolt the engine and jack it up to get to the spark plugs.
