I just paid ~650usd for a new battery for my Toyota. Though I bought an extra expensive one to have good enough amps for starting in -40c and colder.
Fun fact: -40c = -40f
It's a couple of hunks of lead, copper, and sulfuric acid. You got robbed.
No? Proper high CCA batteries are expensive, go find me something with 1000+ CCA from a trusted brand for under 600 bucks (including all taxes, etc) I'm also not in the US
Oh my bad, I should have researched the Russian battery market before commenting about my personal experiences on the other end of the world
wait, what?
*looked at the username you're responding to* ah, nevermind
You can get AGM or even lion batteries which cost a little more and are a bit more involved but 600 still sounds high.
Stop buying stuff from the dealership!
I did not, and that's a very American thing that dealerships massively rip you off. (though yes OEM parts are always more expensive)
I bought a high CCA battery because I need it where I live, they are expensive. The one I got is an Odyssey PC1750T which I have no clue what the price of is in America, but 600+ usd with taxes isn't uncommon in Europe.
That's crazy. I have a high CCA battery that I got at Costco tire center for $220.
