Considering my e30 is stored for the winter until april/may, and my battery has finally went after 5.5 years. I have plenty of time to mull over what type, size and quality battery I will replace my old one with.
Current options:
AGM or standard battery
Group 48 or Group 49
Exide, East penn, or Johnson batteries
List above leaves out deka (east penn carried by carquest).
There is no autozone/advanced auto parts here in Canada.
Current options:
Active green and ross (basically sears) - $124 group 49 diehard 649mf 6 year prorated 18 month replacement 875 CCA - $10 discount = $114
carquest - East pen $160 group 49
walmart -Have still to check
Costco kirkland - does not carry size 48 or 49
Part Source (autozone equivilant) - $113 exide group 48 $124 exide group 49 6 year prorated 2 year replacement
From the dealer - $125 group 48 or $159 for group 49, I am told by the parts manager at the dealership that these batteries are made by and delivered by exide
"The cross country battery" JCI-AGMLN5/48 (apparently made by Johnson)for $190 group 48 AGM battery
Exide FP-AGML5/49 AGM battery also for $190
Opinions?
