How much is a car battery these days ? Vote. Comment.

Around 100.
This is why it's good to have some car knowledge.
Also helps to have a trusted personal mechanic.

I had a car problem once.
Forgot what the issue was but I took it to a shop that my dad recommended.

They wanted to charge me 800 to fix it.
I took it to my mechanic, whom I should have gone to in the first place, who told me what the problem actually was, and charged less than 100 to fix it.

I told my dad, the people at the shop (where he's gone to fir years) are probably getting over on him.
His car is always in the shop

About 4 months ago I had to get a new one it was about $200 after tax.

I just got a new battery from Walmart. The battery was around $100. I installed it myself so there was no additional charge. My wife’s sister got one at Walmart & had them install it. She paid around $225.

It really depends on the size required. Once the correct size is determined, then the price is pretty much based on warranty. The better the replacement warranty.... the higher the price.

I just replaced a battery in one of my Ford vehicles at the dealer with a Motorcraft Battery. They charged 189.00 installed (a difficult installation due to battery location within the vehicle). I thought that was a fair price as other places had quoted 225-250 installed.

It depends on where you get it and if you install it yourself. A dealership will charge you just over $300 to install a new battery for you. You can buy one and install it yourself for about half that....Unless its a Lithium battery for and electric car. Those start at $16,000 and got up dramatically for vehicles with higher energy demands.

Found a car battery out in the woods...scrap yard paid me 10 bucks for it!

Depends if needs to provide start stop then absolutely $250 I mean in Halfords their priciest batteries are £270 including fitting

An ordinary battery about £70 for a 12v

Which is why my golf carts are gasoline powered

It is not really to far out of line to spend $250 on a good quality replacement battery . A lil more expensive one will often last longer because they usually have more cold cranking amps , making it last longer in extreme temps both hot and cold especially .

It depends on size, capacity and what it is made of. There are few different technologies for car batteries. Plus price depends on how long is warranty too.
For decent small to mid size cars, good performance battery may cost $100-150.

The AA (Automobile Association), whom I paid huge membership fees to, tried to charge me about £130 for a new battery - I went to an autospares shop and got one for less than £60. I cancelled my subscription straight afterwards

I think it was 100 dollars

Depends on the warranty wanted with the battery and the CCA. The battery that fits my car starts at about $70 and goes up exponentially from there depending on the other options.

It depends on they type of battery. If your vehicle is one of those with the stop-start technology (i.e., vehicle turns off at red lights, etc. to save gas), the battery will be more expensive.

Depends on the car and the battery. I think my generic one was between $80+$130. I could buy an Optima battery for over $400.

It might be a charging problem
Not a battery
You need to know what the problem is first

Ive seen some cost about 400, and if you need a hybrid battery forget about it.

I spent $160 for a motorcycle battery last week.

Make sure the alternator is working before replacing the battery.

Price of everything is up...

Did you get your car sorted?

It varies, vehicle to vehicle, and not all batteries are created equal, don't go cheap. Interstate used to be the best, not anymore. Delphi were great, but they were bought out.

Over 100 bucks for most solid durable batteries. Pick a good one and have fun. ☺️

250 is within the range but you should buy it from a store with a warranty, not on the black market

Toooooooo..... much!

You can buy one for just under $150, but if you want a good one and need it installed it will run you about $200.

Around $200 makes sense especially these days

Sadly, they're getting more and more expensive as manufacturers and retail suppliers have gotten more greedy.
