I need a new Battery for my 4runner and was wondering if anyone knew of a descent place either online or around here to pick one up. I dont need something solid state or super heavy duty, just something descent that wont die down if I roll my back window down while the truck is off (lol).

Thanks...

If you drive your truck everyday I would suggest the Optima redtop. I got one from batteries plus for a bit over $80. (for any other battery purchases I would not recommend BP - they are way over priced)

I have a DIE HARD GOLD in my garage, works fine summer and winter. I think it is a little less than 3yrs old. If you want it i'll trade it to you for the cards i have of yours that you were going to trade me.

How in the hell did you pay that little for a red top!! The best price i could find ONLINE was like 100-110 plus 20 shipping! Are you sure that's what you paid?

How long has that been sitting there Chad? If it works fine that would be good enough for now. I dont remember what cards you had. Enlighten me? lol I do need it pronto though...

I just called Battery plus in apple valley and the red top with the top AND side posts are 119 dollars... Thats was the only one they had.

It's been sitting for about 2-3 months. It was still charged last time i checked it a month ago.

Battery City in MPLS is a battery wholesaler. Their on the east side of the river between Broadway and Plymouth Aves. They have most sizes of batteries in stock and are about $10-20 cheaper than other places. They have StartRite batteries which are suppose to be the same as Die-Tards (except they don't come with one pre-dead cell like Die-Tards.)

Thanks for the help fellas...

I have two dead Red Tops, a dead yellow top, a large panaosonic, 2 dead jetski batteries, and a dead Walmart battery - you are welcome to any of them for free. [Wink]

Nice Chad offer him a dead battery [Embarrassed]

You might be able to bring the Optimas back to life by trickle-charging them for a while. The rest will fit nicely in a landfill.

If you get the chance Scott, Please bring those back to me, ( the two red tops and the yellow top)
I would like to try a few things with them....

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Sure, no problem. Mikey has the yellow top and it's got a hole in it, but I will bring you at least one red top.

So the wife called me from work this morning to tell me that the battery on the truck died overnight so looks like I have to go get one today heh.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :
