    A lot depends on the battery size and whether it's an AGM or wet cell battery. My 2018 Ram has a large group wet cell and my 5th wheel has 2 group 27 batteries. They were over $450 for the 3.
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    I don't think my Toyota needs an AGM battery...it has nothing that really requires one. Size H5 i do believe

    Also Toyota was smart and put the battery where it should be...under the hood and easy to get to...at least on their 4 cylinder Camry's. Not my particular one but it's the exact same AC8680CE-E936-27C0-D5AF6D2628B5DC8A_x.jpg

    If your car has that moronic start/stop application it requires an AGM battery at the very least. I like them because they seem to be better built and last longer. My 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum has the switch but it doesnt do anything. I imagine the previous owner had it disconnected.

    that's another reason why I bought a Camry, it has no such application, at least on the I4's. Mine also has a real parking brake...and a key to start the car...no turbocharged nonsense or CVT's in sight...and it was made in 2020... *mind explosion*

    I have a NOCO, works great had it for years, not exactly cheap though. If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks for quality, that's the brand I'd recommend.

    Got unloaded. Arrived at 22:00 for a 23:30 appointment. Was given a door right away. Told to wait for a phone call to come get my paperwork. At 23:30 my unload started. But no phone call ever came. After most of the people who came in right after me had gotten unloaded and left, I decided to see if there was a problem. Turns out that they forgot about me. At 2:30 I finally got out of there. Honestly, 3 hours still isn't bad for a cold storage delivery, but I was actually empty shortly after midnight-30. Now I head to Topeka to pick up candy going back to Irving for tomorrow, so I will just top 2500 for the week, so the new guy gets to keep his hearing another week :D.

    Apparently, Crete has hired me...I got notifications in my email for Litmos training courses being assigned to me that must be completed during orientation...o_O. Not sure what that's all about.
