Battery help

ddvette9 · 09-07-2011, 10:24 AM

Need a new battery this week. Used the search function and nothing came up. I am very inexperienced When it comes to buying a battery. Should I go to the dealership and let them take care of it or do something else. Any experience with our cars on what brands to stay away from? Not to mention I am running a small monoblock amp also. Thanks for the heads up and any links or references would help since the a good reliable battery is super important

Throw in some price figures if you could too on past experiences

if you're looking for just any battery go to Sear's. they have a decent selection and will install for you if you dont' know how.

i highly recommend you drive a good 15miles on highway to charge the battery after install unless you have a charger at home. i will be getting a RedTop #35 8020-164 pretty soon for my G. i believe it's the same size for the 370Z. check them out.

My dad mentioned sears he has always loved them for anything. Do they pro rate your battery there and what are you getting out the door for
