The cost involved in purchasing a car battery depends upon the warranty, the cold cranking amps (CCA) and the size of battery you need. Most auto parts stores will be able to look up the make and model of your car and tell you the price range for your battery according to the costhelper.com website. Most car batteries are in the price range of $45 to $90. Typically, the warranty covers free replacement batteries for at least a year up to five years depending on the battery you purchase.

On the Other: Battery Replacement

Replacing your battery could not be easier, as many auto parts stores such as AutoZone and Sears will do it free of charge right there on the parking lot, if you purchase the new one from them. If you cannot get your car there because it is dead on the side of the road, they will probably charge you a small fee and if you return your used battery to them they will recycle the battery and refund you the money.

Bottom Line

Unless you have a very unusual car, the auto parts stores will usually have a new battery in stock. If you know your car is rare call ahead and order one when your battery is due to be changed. Before going on a long trip, you should always have your battery tested. They can perform this test free where you get your oil changed and have routine maintenance done.
