Will never purchase a brand new battery from an auto parts store! Was able to purchase a battery for my Ford SUV for $40. They charge you a $20 core charge if you do not have an old battery to recycle. So $66 total with tax. Was able to bring the battery that was previously in my SUV along with another spare I had at home and was refunded the $20 core charge and was also given another $20 for the spare battery which allowed me to purchase an additional used battery. 1 of the 2 batteries I turned in was completely shot and the other was not in great condition. So for $40 bucks I was able to purchase 2 used batteries-can’t beat that deal.
Update-1 week later and my used battery is running perfectly, will try to update again in 6 months or so.
