$150 at Walmart, $190 at O'Reilly's. But the O'Reilly's warranty is for a full three years and is not prorated.Sure looks similar. Price?
Probably did. There's really only a couple battery manufacturers left. Most everything I've bought in the US is manufactured by Johnson Controls. Case is probably the same but the internals might have slightly different chemical and material differences that accounts for the price (and warranty) differences.
That'd be great. The cashier at O'Reilly's was certain it will last 10 years.Probably did. There's really only a couple battery manufacturers left.

you put H7 in convertible? i recently replaced the O'Reilly super start with the walmart H6 as cheap get by option since the H7 didn't appear to fit my factory convertible battery compartment.
Huh? Then it can't be a factory tray in there is my only guess.you put H7 in convertible? i recently replaced the O'Reilly super start with the walmart H6 as cheap get by option since the H7 didn't appear to fit my factory convertible battery compartment.
Deka is another major manufacturer. Back in PA, I used to go down to their plant and get "blemished" batteries dirt cheap.
10 years!😂That'd be great. The cashier at O'Reilly's was certain it will last 10 years.
Get it at Costco. 3 year warranty = lifetime warranty. Take it back and exchange it every 2 1/2 years. AGM to boot.
Johnson Controls got out of the battery biz several years ago.Probably did. There's really only a couple battery manufacturers left.

Ah, so they did. Looks like it's now Clarios as of 2019...Johnson Controls got out of the battery biz several years ago.
They did pretty good by me because I haven't bought a battery in about 5 years. Hopefully, they new conglomeration maintains that.

just got same battery at Walmart as my previous one from them one size smaller left me for dead 6x's towards the end of less than 1 year owning it--to their credit they replaced for free, Jer
I really can't fault the battery unless the Walmart ones are just cheap. My car sits for up to two weeks sometimes. I didn't drive it for 13 days recently and when I went to go somewhere, it did start but seemed 'weak' when it first cranked. Three days later, same thing. Three days after that, just click, click, click. Less than 15 minutes on the charger got me started and on my way to O'Reilly's.just got same battery at Walmart as my previous one from them one size smaller left me for dead 6x's towards the end of less than 1 year owning it--to their credit they replaced for free, Jer
Only problem is that you have to pay for return shipping.Lifetime warranty from fcpeuro on the AGM battery they offer
And be without a battery for all that time.Only problem is that you have to pay for return shipping.
With the FCPEuro return policy, you buy the second, replacement part first, then return the first (now defective) part to get a refund of the price paid for the second part.And be without a battery for all that time.
Great deal but it can't be cheap to UPS a battery.With the FCPEuro return policy, you buy the second, replacement part first, then return the first (now defective) part to get a refund of the price paid for the second part.
Nope.... it's considered hazardous too.Great deal but it can't be cheap to UPS a battery.
Here's what I bought for my vert last year.
Check out this page from Summit Racing 2002 BMW 330CI ACDelco 88864542 ACDelco Gold Automotive AGM Batteries | Summit Racing
If your active military or veteran it's 145 bucks.
Summit is a couple hours from me, so I always get stuff the next day with the free shipping.
I bought an H8 for my cab in error. Seems to me I discovered the error when I tried to install it. Any, back to Costco for H7.
