Replacement battery question

   / Replacement battery question #11  
Had to replace my LS battery last winter. Usually just get a Walmart battery but this time they had none that exactly matched the size of the battery and due to the battery box it had to be exact. I went to NAPA and got the exact same size with higher CCA for cheaper than a similar sized battery at Wally World which was a bit surprising. The NAPA battery was also sealed top so no water to keep checked compared to the EverStart batteries that were not maintenance free.

Thanks for all the feedback. Took the dimensions to Napa and they had nothing in stock but could get it overnight. WalMart was way over in the Big City, and on the way I saw an Interstate battery store. Stopped in and they had a 700CCA battery with almost the exact dimensions as the battery holder on my mini-ex. Granted I got many years out of the original battery, but wow - that excavator came to life so fast I wasn't sure I had even turned the key yet!

All is well now.

Got any cold wind and snow, on the top of that (Craftsbury Common) hill?

I have always had godd luck at NAPA, if they don't have it they will get it. Ask for their discounts, never pay counter price. I get Military and fleet pricing whichever is better. Up to 50% non some stuff.

It's always windy up here! I suppose that's why they sited the windmills on the far hill. Still have about two feet of snow on the ground. 49F yesterday. Snowing today.

I like NAPA. When I had my '57 Dodge pickup with a flathead six they had the oil filters in stock. The NAPA part number was 6.
