I need a battery

[Daggar]

Currently have (Believe it or not) The Factory battery in the damn thing.

 

Heres what I am looking for:

 

1000 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) if I can't do a stock setup for that tell me whats the max I can squeeze in.

2 or 3 year Warrenty

 

Oh and it's avilable in Canada.

 

Thanks =)

i was thinkin that exactly.

especially since he is in canada.

cold winters can be hard on batteries.

 

when i replaced mine shortly after i got my cutty it was 7 years old.

that was an interstate battery. i went with a AC Delco platinum

Are you running subs/amps and stuff, or just stock?

 

I've had pretty good luck with the regular Canadian Tire batteries. Also had a Die Hard in my car which lasted quite a while.

 

It's a possbility I may put my sub back in it but I doubt it.

 

I have a Motomaster Eliminator in my 1967 I was thinking that for the Lumina but the AC Delco has lasted so long in the Lumina I may just replace it with the same. But have you seen those weird new batteries at Canadian Tire? /boggle

I dont know if you have Walmart up there but their Everstart batteries are good. Ive had them in 3 of my vehicles and my parents had them in two of theirs.

Crappy Tire sells Optima batteries now (but only online), as well as those new fancy spiral core (or whatever they are called) batteries; both far far too much money.

I actually just changed my battery. I went with a top rated Eliminator, and it is fantastic. It has higher CCA than the more expensive batteries, and if memory serves, it actually has a longer reserve than the Optima and co. batteries as well, and is backed by a pretty good warranty.

There are actually charts at http://www.canadiantire.com which list the CCA's, etc. of a particular battery line.
